I cry out to the LORD. I plead for the LORD’s mercy. I pour out my complaints before Him and tell Him all my troubles. When I am overwhelmed, You alone know the way I should turn.

Psalm 142:1-3a

Pastoral Counseling

If you are asking the question “Where can I turn for help?” – we want you to know that your pastors here at Riverland Hills care about you, and are always available to meet with you and listen and offer biblical, pastoral advice.  Many problems in life can be effectively addressed in this kind of setting.  However, as Christians, we sometimes go through difficult times and need the focused care of trained professionals.  
 
There are a number of local, licensed counseling professionals that we have a relationship with in the greater Columbia area and we will be glad to assist you in finding the right counselor for you and your particular needs.  Please keep in mind that although there is no charge for pastoral counseling, there is a cost for counseling services provided by outside counseling centers and professionals.  Most of these organizations accept insurance to cover or help cover the costs of their services.  
 
Whatever you may be facing, our prayer is that you will experience God’s incredible healing power through either pastoral counseling or professional Christian counseling.  Please let us know how we can help.

Benevolence Ministry

If we can be of service, please contact stewardship@riverlandhills.org. Rest assured that we will keep your situation confidential.
