What if your generosity could give someone their first step toward healing? 💙

Midlands Gives Day is May 5th, and we are asking our community to show up for the people in our area who are quietly struggling with their mental health. The need is real. The crisis is close to home. And your donation can make a tangible difference.

Giving to the Christian Counseling Center means funding our Counseling Assistance Fund, which helps cover the cost of care for those who cannot afford it on their own.

It also allows us to open more offices, which can help us to provide more counseling to those in areas of critical need.

You do not have to wait until May 5th to give. Every donation, at any time, goes toward bringing hope and healing to someone who needs it.

🤍 Give Hope. Give Healing. Give Today. 🤍

Stress is something almost all of us know well, but far too many of us carry it alone. 💙

April is Stress Awareness Month, and it is a good time to pause and honestly ask: how am I really doing? Stress that goes unaddressed does not just disappear. It builds, and it takes a toll on our physical health, our relationships, and our ability to walk in the peace God has for us.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) gives us a clear and compassionate instruction: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

You do not have to manage it all on your own. Bring it to God. Bring it to a trusted person. And if you need more support, bring it to us.

Meet our student intern Echo!

In Matthew 25.31-46, Jesus announces the importance of “the least of these” in His kingdom. This is not a pejorative term, but rather a description of those who need some help to get by and of those who know they need grace.

In verse 40, Jesus goes on to say that if you serve those in need, you also directly serve Him. What a privilege to know that caring for those in need is a way of showing our love for God as well!

There are a lot of good ministry causes on midlandsgives.org and CCC is one of them. Your gift to our ministry allows is to provide vital and biblically based mental health services to those who would otherwise not receive care. Would you consider a gift today?

One last thing—Matthew 25 promises us that the Lord will not forget our gifts and service to Him, even if they are so small that we have forgotten them.

29 years of showing up, walking alongside, and witnessing God’s healing at work in our community!

For nearly three decades, the Christian Counseling Center has had the privilege of sitting with people in their hardest moments, celebrating breakthroughs, and pointing hearts toward hope, truth, and restoration.

Every story matters. Every step toward healing matters. And every life touched is a reminder of God’s faithfulness through it all.

We’re so grateful for the clients, families, churches, and community who have trusted us along the way. Here’s to 29 years of compassionate, Christ-centered care and almost 300,000 total counseling and psychiatric sessions… and to all that God will continue to do in the years ahead.

If you’re in need of support, we’re here for you, just as we have been for our community for the past 29 years.

Meet Rebecca Jones, LPC! Rebecca has over a decade of experience helping clients find healing and wholeness. Here, she reminds us that God sees and honors even the small and often unthanked tasks we do every day.

We at CCC love to share good news like this with our clients. But we can’t do that without your support. Would you consider giving a gift to the Christian Counseling Center by going to midlandsgives.org and donating? Doing so will make sure that everyone in the Midlands, and especially those who are struggling, have access to quality mental health care.

And be encouraged: your gift will have a 2x impact thanks to our generous matching gift donors.

Today, the world turns its attention to health, and we think that is worth celebrating. 🌍💙

At the Christian Counseling Center, we believe that caring for your mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being is one of the most faithful things you can do. God cares about every part of you, and He designed you for wholeness, not just survival.

Psalm 139:14 (NIV) reminds us that you are "fearfully and wonderfully made." That means your mind, your heart, and your emotional life are part of a design that God himself called wonderful.

If you have been putting off getting support, let today be the nudge you needed. You are worth the care. 🙏

🕊️ Hope is not wishful thinking. It has a name, and His name is Jesus. 🕊️

On this Easter Sunday, we celebrate the truth that death could not hold Him, darkness could not stop Him, and the love of God is stronger than anything this world can throw at us.

📖 1 Corinthians 15:55 (NIV) says it boldly:
“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

If you are in Christ, that victory belongs to you, too. Whatever you are facing today, you face it as someone on the winning side of the greatest story ever told.

And if this season feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming, Easter is your reminder: hope is alive. And you don’t have to walk through anything alone.

At the Christian Counseling Center, we’re here to walk alongside you with Christ-centered care, helping you find healing, clarity, and renewed hope.

Today, we pause. We remember. We are grateful.

Good Friday is the day the weight of all our sin, all our shame, all our brokenness was carried to a cross by a Savior who chose to go willingly. Isaiah 53:5 (NIV) says, "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."

By His wounds, we are healed. Fully. Wholly. Completely.

Whatever you are carrying today, bring it to the cross. That is exactly why He went there. And if you need a place to process what feels heavy, we’re here to walk with you — gently, faithfully, and with care rooted in Christ.

When life gets loud, come back to what is true. 📖

It's easy to absorb the noise around us, the worry, the comparison, the headlines, without even realizing it. But Philippians 4:8 (NIV) gives us a filter: "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely… think about such things."

What we feed our minds grows. What we neglect fades. This season, we want to encourage you to be intentional about the truths you're planting in your heart.

Write a verse on a sticky note. Set a reminder on your phone. Come back to it throughout your day. Roots grow slowly, but they grow strong. 🌱

And if you’re finding it difficult to quiet the noise or anchor your thoughts in truth, we’re here to help. Our counselors provide a Christ-centered space to process what feels overwhelming and to build rhythms that bring clarity, peace, and spiritual grounding.
