We believe that the Bible is the supreme authority as our guide to Christian faith and service. We seek to speak where the Bible speaks, and be silent where the Bible is silent. We recognize that issues surrounding mental health affect everyone in our communities and within our homes, and impact our ability to understand God’s plan for us. Our desire is to remove the stigma people who experience mental health challenges face and end the dangerous notion that people have to be okay to go to church. As humans none of us are okay; we all suffer from the brokenness caused by the introduction of sin into our world.
If you are considering suicide, help is available. Please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 9-8-8 to reach a trained counselor 24 hours a day.
