Counseling Scholarships
Counseling Ministry
Goal: $3,000
Sometimes, a couple or individual needs critical care in the form of a multi-day biblical counseling intensive, or other specialized care outside the walls of Grace Community Church. However, the cost is an obstacle for many who need this help. This fund provides scholarships to alleviate that burden so that these couples/individuals can focus fully on healing in Christ during this time of intensive care
