Biblical Counseling - No Fee

There are several members of The Crossing who have gone through training and/or certification in the ministry of biblical counseling. They are dedicated to helping others through life’s struggles by applying scriptural principles and truths in practical ways. Dr. Don Delwood has been practicing Internal Medicine in the Columbia area for more than 20 years and has been passionately interested and involved with biblical counseling for over 15 years. As one of the founding elders at The Crossing, he has been heading up a growing team of church members who are trained in biblical counseling. This team has been providing counseling to members and attenders of The Crossing for several years.

How To Get Started

 

To make an appointment with Dr. Delwood or someone on The Crossing Biblical Counseling Team, please email . He can also be contacted by cell text message at the number given out during first session.

What else do I need to know?

 

Sessions are usually between 30–60 minutes in duration and will take place at The Crossing in either the office area or in the prayer room. You should plan on 60 minutes for the first session. Please bring your Bible and any books that we are referencing. You are also expected to bring any homework that has been assigned. Commitment to completing the homework is a direct indicator of your participation, and without it, progress will be very limited.
