What?

The MET Biblical Counseling Ministry

• We believe in the sufficiency of God's Word


• We believe in the power of God's Word to transform people's lives

The distinguishing marks of biblical transformation:

Christ centered

• This involves understanding the nature and causes of human difficulties


• Realizing how much we are unlike Christ in our values, aspirations, desires, thoughts, feelings, choices, attitudes, actions, and responses


• Resolving these sin related issues includes being redeemed and justified through Christ, receiving forgiveness through Christ, and acquiring the enabling power of Christ to replace unChristlike sinful patterns of life with Christlike godly ones

Salvation centered

• All of our guides are people who have experienced the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and have come to Christ in repentance and accepted Him as Lord and Savior


• They also acknowledge the role of the Holy Spirit in regenerating, saving, and sanctifying others


• All guidance begins with the Gospel which allows individuals to understand the process of sanctification through Christ

Bible centered

• We derive our understanding of the nature of man, the nature of his problems, why he has these problems, and how to resolve these problems from Scripture


• We are committed to the sufficiency of Scripture

Church centered

• Scripture makes it clear that the church is the primary means by which God accomplishes His work in the world


• The church is God's ordained instrument for calling the lost to Himself and the context by which He sanctifies and changes people into the very likeness of Christ.


• The church is the instrument God uses to transform people's lives
