TESTIMONIALS

“I am very thankful a friend told me about The Orchard Church marriage counseling services. I had felt hopeless for so long. The Lord used a godly man to meet with my husband and I, who gave us biblical tools and advice to improve our marriage, and grow in love with each other again. It made all the difference in our relationship. The counselor was kind, nonjudgmental, and patient, but he also gave God’s views on marriage and helped us see things in His light!”

“I have been in counseling my entire life, but never Christian counseling prior to my counseling experience at the Orchard Church. It was very special in so many ways. The most important part to me was the inclusion of God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Including God in the counseling experience was amazing and wonderful for me because I was a new Christian at the time. My counselor prayed with me and showed me many wonderful Bible passages…. Not only did she help me immensely emotionally by teaching me the power of God,but she showed me how to feel safe in God’s love. It really turned me around and helped me establish and deepen my walk with God. My Counselor is a beautiful, wonderful Christian woman, and I will never forget everything that she did for me. I know I wouldn’t be where I am now, 1 1/2 years later, If I hadn’t been blessed with her in my life when I was a new Christian. I am forever grateful and deeply appreciative.”

“In the late Spring of 2024 my marriage of several decades was shaken to its very core by my husband’s admission to illicit sexual encounters spanning years. My heart was broken, shattered, crushed. I was deeply betrayed by the one I thought I knew best. I reached out to the Orchard Church counseling ministry. The counselor I worked with was the perfect blend of all that I needed for that season. My counselor listened, directed conversation, encouraged, and gently exhorted. I cried, healed, grew, and leaned in closer to the Father. I will be forever thankful for this counselor, forever grateful for the counseling services at the Orchard Church.”
