What We Offer!
The Mountain Grove Care Ministry provides certified Christian Care Givers who offer sensitive, compassionate Christian guidance that will work toward healing and wholeness in your life. Pastoral Counseling provides a confidential setting in which individuals, couples and/or families can openly express feelings, discuss problems and issues and work toward solutions by God’s grace and wisdom. In addition to relational and pastoral guidance, we have passionate lay-counselors who can help address specific needs such as substance abuse/addictions; relational/sexual issues; grief and divorce issues.

Cost
The Care/Counseling Ministry is a ministry of Mountain Grove Church.
No fees are charged. While the church provides support for this ministry, we encourage non-member clients to participate in the support of this ministry both through prayer as well as by making a contribution to the church, which is completely at their discretion.
About Pastoral Care Ministries:
