PARTNERING WITH CHURCHES AROUND THE COUNTRY

 
 

As a pastor or church leader, your privilege and responsibility is to care for the members of your church in the midst of their pain, suffering, and relational turmoil. This can be a difficult task for several reasons:

  • Perhaps the demands of ministry and your busy schedule will not allow you to provide the dedicated long-term care that an individual, couple, or group needs.

  • Perhaps you feel that a situation is stretching you beyond your experience, giftedness, or comfort level. 

  • Perhaps the nature of your relationship with the congregant(s) would make a counseling relationship inappropriate or uncomfortable, thus requiring a third party to step in.

No matter the reason, it's likely that you could use some outside counseling help at your church. But you want to make sure that you trust the counselor to whom you are referring your people. You want to know that they are providing Gospel-centered transformational care at the heart level. You want to be certain that you are both on the same page theologically. In short, you want the counselor to be an extension of the ministry of your church. 

This is where Crosstown Counseling comes in. My passion is to walk alongside like-minded pastors and church leaders to synergistically care for their congregants. I am committed to providing theologically-sound, biblically-based, and heart-transformative care that complements the work of your church.

 
 
 
 

WHAT I OFFER

 
 

I would be honored to partner with your church in Gospel ministry. Should you choose to partner with Crosstown Counseling, I am committed to providing the following for the leaders and members of your church:

  • A fully functioning biblical counseling ministry under the direction of your church without any legal liability on your part

  • Cooperation with your pastors, staff members, and lay leaders as they care for your congregants in times of crisis, turmoil, and suffering

  • Assistance in church discipline issues and situations requiring a third-party mediator

  • Formal training and mentoring of lay counselors, including members of your diaconate or care team

  • Teaching and equipping of small group leaders

  • Regular meetings with your pastoral staff to discuss counseling cases (with permission of those receiving care, of course)

 
 
 
 

WHAT I REQUEST

 
 

My desire is not to take from churches, but rather to serve them. With that said, I do ask for two (and only two) things should you choose to partner with me. In order to establish a formal partnership with Crosstown Counseling, I request the following:

  • A commitment to assist church members who need financial assistance to help cover counseling costs

  • A commitment to refer members of your congregation to Crosstown Counseling

 
 
 
 

CURRENT PARTNERING CHURCHES

 
 

Crosstown Counseling is delighted to have current partnerships, to various extents, with several churches around the United States. Since the practice started in New York City and then moved to Nashville, many partnering churches are located in these cities. However, since the ministry recently relocated to Columbus, my hope is that new partnerships will begin and flourish in this wonderful city.

Here is a list of current partnering churches:

 
 
 
 

THANK YOU!

 
 

I am confident that local churches can benefit tremendously from Gospel-centered counseling. I thank you ahead of time for the privilege of being able to offer this to your church. I look forward to working alongside you as we make disciples of Jesus Christ together.
