Counseling Ministry Planning for Churches

Counseling Ministry Planning

Many pastors want to help their congregations with spiritual and emotional struggles, but feel unprepared to launch a counseling ministry. Our Counseling Ministry Planning service provides church leaders with expert guidance, proven strategies, and hands-on consultation to design and implement a sustainable lay counseling ministry rooted in both Scripture and mental health best practices.

Service Highlights:

  • Best Practices: Learn how to structure a safe, ethical, and biblically grounded lay counseling ministry.
  • Strategic Planning: Create a ministry plan aligned with your church’s vision, size, and resources.
  • Team Development: Train and equip lay leaders, elders, or deacons to serve as pastoral care partners.
  • Implementation Support: Step-by-step coaching for intake forms, referral processes, and confidentiality guidelines.
  • Ongoing Consultation: Continued support as your ministry grows, adapts, and impacts lives.

Who It’s For:

  • Senior pastors and associate pastors launching a counseling ministry.
  • Church leadership boards seeking a structured care plan.
  • Faith communities that want to combine spiritual care with mental health awareness.

Your church doesn’t have to “figure it out” alone. Let us help you design a counseling ministry that is safe, sustainable, and Christ-centered.
