an integrated approach
Life’s greatest challenges are not simple. They affect us spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Fifty years of experience has confirmed our belief that the deepest healing results from a tightly integrated team of educated and experienced pastors, counselors, teachers, and caregivers working in concert to address the whole soul.
