Counseling & Support at The District Church

We were not created to do life alone. At the District Church, we believe in a holistic approach to caring for our souls. Counseling compliments our worship gatherings, small groups, and prayer ministry. We want those in our community to experience healing and wholeness, and to live as Christ has called them to live.

Counseling Services

The District Church Counseling Ministry’s purpose is to provide faith-based mental health counseling and pastoral care to the The District Church community and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
COUNSELING SERVICES
We offer a range of services that help people have healthy relationships and experience spiritual wholeness, including:

  • Spiritual Guidance / Pastoral Counseling
  • Individual Counseling
  • Premarital Counseling
  • Marriage Counseling
  • Pre-marriage and Marriage Enrichment
  • Marriage Retreats
What You Can Expect
Deciding to receive counseling is an important decision. Once you’ve submitted an interest form, your information will be reviewed and one of our counselors will reach out to you to schedule a session.

As you and your counselor get to know one another in a conversational way, they will help you navigate your questions, understand your feelings, and speak to your holistic well-being.

Through your sessions, expect to be heard, receive compassion, and find support as you move forward in life.

With the power of God and consistent counseling, in 4 months we went from the brink of divorce, to genuine forgiveness, to healing, and have found the deepest love that we’ve felt for one another since we met.

J. C. & T. C.

My life has forever changed – not because of anything magical or groundbreaking, but because my counselor patiently and faithfully helped me to find Jesus in my struggles and dig a little deeper each week. Now I have reliable and biblical tools for my daily walk and work-life, which is more than I could have asked for. This team is gifted, and every moment has been 100% worth it.

Support Groups at The District Church

No matter what you’ve been through or what choices you’ve made in life, there is a place for you to find support and growth at The District Church.

Through our support groups, you’ll find a welcoming community committed to serving one another and seeing each other grow in health, healing and faith.

Men’s Support Group

This anonymous group is for men who feel they can’t control their sexual behavior – whether in relationships with others or on their own in pornography and masturbation – and desire to heal from it. We strive to develop a safe space to share our struggles honestly and break out of isolation in courage. Using a Christ-centered approach in recovery and other conventional wisdom such as 12-step recovery, we gather weekly to confess, encourage, and grow together to become more like Christ, pursuing wholeness in our relationship with God and others. Come. Join us in this journey towards recovery and healing.

Young Adult Parental Loss Support Group

The Young Adult Parental Loss Support Group is for those in their 20s and 30s who have lost a parent and want to explore their grief and its impact on their emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational well-being. Losing a parent as a young adult can feel incredibly isolating, as this loss often comes later in life for most. Together, through sharing, listening, and embracing grief in community, we seek to grow closer to Jesus through our grief, not in spite of it. We invite you to join us—we would love to walk with you, carrying the burdens of grief together as a community in Christ Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.

Meeting weekly on Wednesday 7:15-8:30 pm
Virtual gathering with regular in-person fellowship
This group is closed for the semester, but please email Taek let us know if you’re interested in joining next semester, starting in January.
