Church Partnership

Church-based care

Bring trusted counseling closer to the people you serve

When your church provides a welcoming, private room, TPC can create a professional Christian counseling pathway for your congregation and surrounding community.

Your church provides a welcoming space

A quiet room can become a place where hurting people receive care close to their church community.

TPC provides professional care

People are referred to trained therapists through a Christian counseling organization with a long record of service.

Pastors gain a trusted handoff

Your team has somewhere concrete to send people when needs go beyond pastoral counseling.

Why churches call
