What is Biblical Counseling?

Personal or Family Crisis -  Relationship Challenges
Feeling Alone - Questioning What Life is About

• Is your world about to spin out of control? 
• Are anger, bitterness or broken dreams overcoming you?
• Is there tension in your marriage?

Then Overlake’s Biblical Counseling Ministry is here to help. This ministry is staffed by trained volunteers - each receives additional ongoing training, supervision, and has a wealth of life experience. You'll find encouragement, love, empathy, forgiveness, guidance and above all . . . hope.

We offer free short term biblical counseling to women, men, adolescents, and husbands/wives in daytime and evening appointments. We also can refer you to local, licensed Christian counselors and psychologists.

Biblical counseling is kept confidential and no fee is charged because the counselors volunteer their time (counselees are welcome to make a donation to support the counseling ministry).
