Counseling

We are a non-profit counseling and referral service located within the facilities of BPEFC. We are open to provide services to both the members and the community at large. We are an independent counseling and referral service and not part of or affiliated with BPEFC.

We provide Christian counseling for families and individuals of all ages.

In addition to being grounded in the Christian faith, our counselors are trained in up-to-date counseling theories and techniques.

For an appointment, call the Church Office (763-391-6140) or the counselors individually.

Pastoral Counseling

In addition to the other types of counseling, some of the pastoral staff at BPEFC are available for counseling.

True Biblical counseling is relational and personal and uses the full counsel of God, the Bible. It is sometimes confrontational as a father, loving as a mother, and instructive as a teacher, but always as an encourager. The goal of pastoral counseling is that each person would be further established in their faith, to help them deal with the issues of life.

If you need marriage counseling, grief counseling, spiritual growth/discipleship or other spiritual issues please call 763-392-6140, ext 25 or 28 for appointments.
