Our Vision

To help all those who are broken and hurting find truth, and healthy relationships through Christ’s power.
We do not provide long term counseling. We typically see individual for six to eight session. If you feel this timeframe is not adequate for your needs, we can refer you to a qualified Christian counselor. If this is an emergency, a matter of life and death, please call 911 immediately. If you need to speak with a pastor briefly and immediately, call 577-1604 and ask to speak with the Pastor on Duty.

What We Are   

Big Valley Grace’s Lay Counseling Ministry is designed to provide encouragement, insight and biblical guidance during times of crisis, change, personal and family difficulties. Our lay counselor will listen, clarify, and offer hope, encouragement, prayer and sound Biblical advice. Our goal is to help the counselee resolve the challenges you are facing.

What We Are Not   

Lay counseling is not mental health care and should not be substituted for professional therapy or counseling if you are already under the care of a paid professional counselor. We do not perform psychiatric evaluations nor do we prescribe medication. Our lay counselors are well trained to address many situations and life challenges, but there are some counseling situations that are beyond our training.  When this is the case, professional counseling will be recommended. We are not licensed therapists; we are trained biblical lay and pastoral counselors.
