What You Can Expect
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.
As I approached a decade in teaching, I found myself regularly angry with my students. I didn’t recognize myself as a teacher anymore.
That’s when I finally signed up for counseling. I was really blown away session after session. I have a completely different perspective on anger. I confronted my expectation that maturing in faith would look like never being angry with God. I don’t think that’s true anymore. I believe God wants my honesty, and I feel I can grow closer to Him through honesty now rather than “correcting” my emotions to feel in control. I value the lessons I learned in counseling, and I feel like I can be a healthier person because of it. Each session was a treasure, helping me grow as a person in my journey with God.
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.
I thought I had turned over all the stones, but even 6 months in, we continue to have breakthrough sessions that draw me closer to God and allow me to have more peace, ease, and security. I am learning certain triggers and how the enemy works to trip me up, and I am also recovering quickly from setbacks . . . I am not my past or the old story, but I am who I am in the eyes of Jesus. I have started to really understand how to receive God’s love and be grateful for the miracles he is working every day . . . I can’t speak any higher about this process and highly recommend this faith-based counseling that can heal our patterns and lead us into the light through having a partner by your side like the incredible counseling team at The District Church.
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.
