  • BIBLICAL COUNSELING POLICY

  • Sound biblical and compassionate shepherd care are some of the blessings God has given his people in the person of pastors and teachers. We thank God with you that these resources are available as part of the ministry of Canyon Hills Community Church.

     

    The biblical counsel you may receive is provided free of charge, except for the occasional nominal material costs, as an outreach ministry of Canyon Hills Community Church. The counsel is pastoral in nature, intended to provide you with sound biblical instruction and application to the issues of life. The counsel you receive is not intended to be professional mental health care or legal counsel. The counselor you speak with has not received specialized training in medicine, psychology, psychiatry, or law.

     

    Canyon Hills Community Church will honor the principle of disclosure of information only on a “need-to-know” basis. It is the policy of Canyon Hills Community Church to report to appropriate persons and legal authorities: evidence of child abuse, evidence of elder or dependent adult abuse, threat of physical harm to another, threat of self-inflicted physical harm, and information which poses a threat of harm to the congregation and/or ministry of Canyon Hills Community Church.

     

    At Canyon Hills Community Church, we are continually training others to be effective biblical counselors. Part of the training includes the opportunity to observe another counselor in actual counseling sessions. Because of this ministry model we ask that you agree to allow a person or couple who is in training to sit in on your counseling sessions for the purpose of prayer, training and observations.

     

    In your request for biblical care counseling, Canyon Hills Community Church and you agree that any dispute arising out of the care relationship between you and Canyon Hills Community Church and any employee, agent, trainee or volunteer of Canyon Hills Community Church, the exclusive forum for resolving the dispute shall be the mediation and conciliation, and if necessary, arbitration services of a mutually agreed upon Christian mediator/arbitrator. Any resulting arbitration is mutually agreed to be binding on all parties. I have read, understood and agree to be bound by the above stated policies of Canyon Hills Community Church. In addition, I authorize release of information accordingly.

  • COUNSELING AGREEMENT

  • I understand that my counselor is counseling from the Word of God and that no outside resources (specifically psychological input) shall be used during any of the counseling sessions. I understand that my counselor is not certified by the state, rather is held to the Word of God and the standards that come from within the Bible.

    In addition to this, I understand that my counselor will be opposed to any outside counseling that I might be involved in. I will stop counseling with anyone else and allow my counselor to be the only one to counsel me. I understand that if I have more counselors than one, that I am putting myself at risk for confusion, which will only add to my problems.

    I will be required to go to church once a weekend during counseling. This is to allow for further counseling from the Word of God. If I fail to go to church one weekend, counseling will be suspended for that week and that week only. I understand that if I am too busy to spend one hour of my time with God on Sunday morning or Sunday night, then I am too busy to spend an hour of my time in counseling with my counselor.

    In addition to this, I will be on time for all counseling appointments. I understand that my counselor will only wait for ten minutes after my scheduled counseling appointment before he/she leaves. Each time we meet, I understand that we will meet for one hour. I will honor and respect his/her time and call to inform him/her if I am going to be late or if I need to reschedule and I will not come to him/her with counseling issues apart from the time that I have scheduled with him/her. I am aware that if I miss two appointments without having called to inform him/her of my situation that he/she will discontinue his/her counseling services with me.

    I will be given homework each and every week of counseling and I agree to complete all of the homework given to me before I come to the counseling session. I realize that only through the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit mixed with my own personal involvement can I change into the person who can glorify God. If I fail to do the homework assigned to me, I will have a valid reason for why I was not able to complete the homework. In addition, if I go three weeks without doing my homework, my counselor will understand that I do not want to change and he/she will discontinue counseling until the point in times that I am willing to change.

    Finally, I believe that God can change me and make me into the person that He wants me to be through having the Holy Spirit in my life and obeying God’s Word.

    I have read and agree to counseling under these terms:
