Church Partnership Program
Our mission at CentrePointe Counseling is to provide Christ-centered professional counseling and consultation services that work toward transformation at the center of individuals, families, and organizations, creating a ripple effect of change in thinking, believing, and acting.
We believe that helping to foster healthy individuals leads to healthy families, churches, schools, organizations, businesses, and ultimately healthy communities.
Our Church Partnership Program provides support and resources to churches that wish to see this same ripple of change in their own congregations.
By deciding to partner with CentrePointe Counseling, congregations participate in a covenant relationship that benefits their clergy and members, while bringing hope and healing to their community.
Church Partnership Program Benefits
In the partnership covenant, the church partner congregation agrees to:
- Use CentrePointe Counseling as a referral source for counseling, education, consultation, and training.
- Promote the purpose and mission of CentrePointe to the congregation by providing information in church newsletters, worship bulletins, visitor packets, and information tables.
- Support the ministry of CentrePointe by contributing financially. CentrePointe is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation committed to serving those in need, regardless of their ability to pay. The congregation’s participation as a partner church helps support this mission by providing services to those in need.
- Remember the staff, board, and clients in prayer. List the ministry of CentrePointe in church prayer lists and ask the congregation to pray for our staff and client needs.

Pastors: Would you like to know more about CentrePointe Counseling?
Pastors are invited to our annual Pastors' Luncheon, where they can join colleagues from various churches and denominations seeking to understand topics impacting their congregants, as well as themselves. Our counselors speak on relevant mental health related themes each year, for example: youth and identity, pastoral stress and fatigue, adult children and parent relational strain and more. Pastors contribute to future topics.
