GRIEFSHARE 

September 7 – December 30, 2021 | Meeting Virtually and In-Person

GriefShare is a caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving experience alone. The group is led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You may join anytime.  There is a registration fee of $15.00 per person + the cost of shipping for your workbook.

GriefShare is currently on break. Our next session begins September 7, 2021.

LAY COUNSELING  

Glenkirk’s Lay Counseling Ministry provides trained Christian helpers for people who desire paraprofessional level counseling.
We seek to serve people at Glenkirk Church and in our community who have special needs in times of conflict or crisis.

Our counselors receive training and clinical skills based on a Christian framework. Licensed mental health professionals train and supervise our counselors to help with personal, family, marital, and relational needs as well as many other counseling areas.

There is no charge for the counseling since it is made possible by the people of Glenkirk Church through our annual budget.

Counseling is usually done on the premises of Glenkirk Church.  However, due to the Covide-19 pandemic, all appointments are now being done on a computer video platform (such as Zoom) or over the phone.  The person desiring the counseling may call the church office at 626-914-4833 or email laycounseling@glenkirkchurch.org.

Professional level psychopathologies (psychosis, schizophrenia, etc.) or needs requiring medical intervention or in-depth psychological testing will be referred, as soon as recognized, to appropriate agencies or professionals.

PREPARE & ENRICH

Premarital and Marital Counseling

Many of Glenkirk’s Lay Counselors are specifically trained to do premarital and marital counseling using Life Innovation’s Prepare and Enrich assessment. This assessment is done online and provides information on strengths and possible growth areas for couples. Feedback from a counselor is done over a 6-8 week period meeting once a week. There is a $35 charge to take the assessment.

An interviewer will assess the person’s need through a short intake interview and will contact the best available counselor to work with the situation. The counselor will then contact the person and arrange a time to begin the counseling process. Should it be determined that the person’s need is beyond the level of expertise of the Lay Counseling Ministry, an appropriate referral will be made.

The person desiring the counseling may call the church office at (626) 914-4833 or CLICK HERE to email our Prepare & Enrich Counseling Team.
