- The Counseling Ministry
The Lord bless you, and keep you; the Lord look upon you with pleasure and be gracious to you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24--26
The Counseling Ministry at Truro is provided for personal and relational growth, healing and reconciliation. One of the key problems that we face is lies that we believe about ourselves, others, our world or even God. One of the central strategies is to identify God’s perspective on who we are, what we can expect of ourselves and others, and what is true about God and what is not. The counselors are committed to biblical authority and the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is their commitment to help you clarify concerns and work toward a sense of health, wholeness, and successful living. This ministry provides a confidential setting where you can talk about your cares and move toward the discovery of God’s peace and comfort.
Counseling in many ways is life coaching and getting a realistic perspective. Individuals need insight and skills to manage life’s challenges. Marriage partners sometimes need more understanding about male/female differences and relationship skills. Parents often need a reality check about children and teenagers and additional parenting skills. A central emphasis is the concept of mutual respect and the Christian value of serving another by knowing a need and then giving to meet the need.
Counseling services are provided by Tim Teague, Ph.D. Dr. Teague is in his eleventh year as Director.
His educational background includes a M.Div. and his doctorate with studies in counseling, New Testament and biblical ethics. He has served two churches in counseling and family ministry for over 25 years—fourteen at Columbia Baptist and eleven at Truro. Dr. Teague works with all ages 5 and above.
Dr. Teague has taught college and seminary classes on evangelism, New Testament studies, counseling and spirituality, and pastoral care, and has served on the Allied Staff of Dominion Hospital and New Life Treatment Centers. He frequently leads classes and retreats on marriage and parenting enrichment for churches and pastors. Some of his areas of expertise include marital sex and premarital preparation and he utilizes the premarital inventory Prepare and the personality assessment Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis. He also has written and trained many adults in the areas of Prevention of Adult Sexual Misconduct and the Prevention of Sexual Abuse.
Engaged Couple Seminars are offered three times each year—the first four Sundays of March and October, and in May/June. The seminar is sixteen hours and is required for all who get married at Truro.
Counseling services are provided as a ministry of the church by Dr. Teague, but to help offset costs, fees are charged if you are able to pay.
