Application Counseling Personal Data Inventory Step 1 of 7 14% Consent to Counseling Grace Church provides biblical counseling as a free ministry to help you to Identify godly ways to resolve problems Cope with difficult circumstances and Honor God in the way you respond to all of life's challenges and opportunities. Our counseling is biblical in nature, not psychological, being based on the belief that we were created by a loving God who has, through His Word and His Spirit, given us the ability to succeed in life and to "become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life" (Philippians 2:15-16). The state of Missouri licenses psychological but not biblical counselors, therefore our counseling pastors are not licensed as counselors. If you would prefer to work with a licensed psychological counselor, we can refer you to one. The counseling process is typically a confidential discussion in which private information must be shared in order to identify root problems and scriptural responses. However by proceeding to fill out this form the counselee acknowledges that there are exceptions to this. The staff works as a team. The counselor may consult with other staff to provide the best possible care. These consultations are for professional, prayerful and training purposes. The church works as a team. Therefore if necessary the counselor may confer with other church leaders on rare occasions when deemed appropriate and necessary. The counselor may also include unidentifiable, anonymous references in teaching settings. (i.e. Authors, pastors and teachers often cite examples of problems they've helped people overcome.) If there is evidence of clear and imminent danger of harm to self or others, a counselor is legally required to report this information to legal authorities responsible for ensuring safety. The law requires that counselors who learn of, or strongly suspect, physical or sexual abuse or neglect of a child must report this information to legal authorities. A court order, issued by a judge, could require the church to release information contained in records and/or require a counselor to testify in a court hearing. Of course, to give wise counsel we first need to know all the pertinent facts. Therefore we ask a lot of questions, so we can see the big picture. So please fill out all questions in the Personal Data Inventory thoroughly, even if they seem irrelevant at the moment. (Sometimes we can only determine that info is impertinent when we see it; at other times we find important clues hiding in obscure details.) There is no fee for counseling services. If you are referred to health or counseling professionals off campus, you are responsible for their charges.
