Our Mission
The counseling ministry at North Hills exists to help hurting people through the loving and patient process of restorative discipleship.
Services Offered
NOTE: All services are offered for those who are members or regular attenders of North Hills.
Individual Counseling
Compassionate counseling is offered for most spiritual, emotional and relational struggles. This counseling emphasizes the provision of grace through the gospel of Jesus Christ in the midst of sin and suffering.
Premarital Counseling
Classes are offered twice annually that cover a wide array of topics targeted for those who are soon-to-be married. Private premarital counseling with a pastor, elder or trained lay couple is also offered.
Marriage Mentoring
Marriage mentoring pairs an experienced couple with a younger couple for year-long discipleship and mentoring. Couples are encouraged to meet regularly for a meal in a casual setting to provide opportunity for encouragement and informal discussion about topics related to Christian marriage. This is not intended as a substitute for formal marriage counseling.
Counseling Groups
These groups are gender-specific, short-term, Spirit-dependent, gospel-centered small groups, led by trained leaders who intentionally guide participants into careful examination of their own hearts in light of the person and work of Jesus, with the goal of seeing God produce in them deep repentance and renewed, joyful worship.
Financial Coaching
Guidance in biblical financial management is available for individuals, couples, or entire families. Assistance is provided with setting up a financial plan that focuses on biblical stewardship of financial resources.
Family Counseling
Assistance is provided to an entire family. This counseling focuses on developing a biblical foundation for family relationships, including establishing roles, conflict resolution strategies, and healthy communication.

Types of Biblical Soul Care
Counseling, or “Soul Care” is not something that can always be categorized. God has made everyone in wonderfully unique (Ps. 139:14) ways and each being, created in God’s image faces different challenges. NHC desires to shepherd our people as best we can, with the Holy Spirit’s help.
There are no “levels” of counseling, but as each person presents with different care needs, NHC seeks to meet those needs in ways that are encouraging, effective and consistent with the truth of scripture.
