I'm delighted that you're interested in our counseling ministry. Whether you are considering
counseling for yourself or are looking for a resource for a friend or family member, it's important
to find counsel you can trust. Let me tell you just a few things that I think makes counseling at
CCEF truly biblical.
The Bible is true...
We believe the Bible is more than a book of facts, but truths that are intended to make a difference.
God intends biblical truth to touch every area of our lives. But everyone faces moments when the truths
of the Bible don't seem to make a difference. Can the Bible's hope really speak to my depression?
Can the Bible's peace really speak to my anxiety? Can the Bible's love change even my marriage? At the CCEF we believe that the Bible speaks to all of life's problems, but sometimes everyone needs the careful thought and prayerful wisdom of another who can help us make the connections that make a difference.
It's about a relationship...
The Bible speaks to every area of our lives, but the Bible isn't simply a recipe book for happiness.
Ultimately, the Bible points us to a relationship with a person. The Bible was given to point us to
Jesus as the one who is able to make all things new. We believe real and lasting change occurs when
people know themselves and their problems within a living and vital relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our counselors are ready to help...
Our counselors understand your problems. Their most important qualification is that they all have come to
know Christ out of their own experiences of need. At CCEF you will receive understanding and compassion
from counselors who have been formally trained in counseling and the Bible and personally changed by
Christ.
If you're looking for biblical counseling and live in the Philadelphia area, I hope you'll take a few
more moments to let us answer some other questions you may have about our counseling (see our FAQ's page)
or even acquaint yourself with some of our counselors (see our CCEF counselors' page). If you need help
locating a biblical counselor in your area, I hope you'll take a look at some suggestions we have for
you under the "How to Choose a Christian Counselor" tab.
Sincerely,
Winston Smith
