Biblical Counseling

Reorienting life's challenges under the authority, comfort, and sufficiency of God’s Word.

Request Counseling

Welcome,

At Galena Bible Church, we believe that God’s Word speaks deeply and compassionately into our darkest seasons, hardest struggles, and most complex relational issues.

Whether you are walking through anxiety, marriage conflict, grief, anger, addiction, or deep suffering, you do not have to walk alone. Reach out for help by filling out our Personal Data Inventory Form linked below and scheduling a meeting.

Getting Started with Counseling

How the process works...

1. Submit Intake Form

Please fill out our initial request form below. This form is a safe place to provide some background information and a description of the issue or struggle you are currently facing, along with a few basic background questions.

Intake Form

2. Schedule Intake Meeting

Once we receive your request, our Associate Pastor of Discipleship and Counseling will reach out to you to schedule an Intake meeting.

What is this? This is a preliminary meeting, not a counseling session. During this meeting, we will review your information, ask clarifying questions, and hear from you directly about what is going on.

3. Active Growth

After the intake meeting, one of the following options will be discussed.

A. Continue to meet for counseling with the Pastor.

B. Discuss the option of meeting with another biblical counselor through our partnership with Anchored Virtual .

C. If your needs require clinical expertise or specialization outside of our scope, we will provide a referral to one of our trusted professional partners in the community.
