Greater Manchester Christian Counseling Services is committed to the view that God created men and women as holistic beings with the understanding that we do not live compartmentalized lives. God has created us with biological, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual capabilities which are interdependent and vital for living. God's design for health is one that incorporates wholeness in all areas of humanity

Greater Manchester Christian Counseling Services is committed to utilizing the best of proven scientific research in the treatment of each area of the human condition which is congruent with the revealed design of God.

Each individual is treated with the uniqueness of their intended creation and according to the context of the life stage and environment in which he or she finds oneself. Each clinician is committed to the process of ongoing supervision in order to provide the most profitable benefit to clients.

The goal of Greater Manchester Christian Counseling Service is to help clients not only reach a baseline for living, but to experience a life that is meaningful and abundant in Jesus Christ. A life that is evidence in biblical thinking and authentic salvific living.

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are God's authoritative blue-print for a life truly worth living and therefore must be a vital tool in the counseling process.

Each clinician is committed to maintaining a vital personal and corporate spiritual life in Christ that calls them to the greater love of God and neighbor through the power of the Holy Spirit.
