CORE BELIEFS
Counselors at Heritage Counseling
Center, Inc. believe:
-
In
one God, creator and sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and
eternally co-existing in three persons -Father; Son and Holy Spirit.
-
The
Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, inerrant,
and trustworthy Word of God, the complete revelation of His will for
the salvation of human beings, and the final authority for all
matters about which it speaks.
-
That
human nature derives from two historical persons,
male and female, created in God's image. They were created
perfect, but they sinned, plunging themselves and all human beings
into sin, guilt, suffering and death.
-
That
the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and His bodily
resurrection provide the only ground for justification, forgiveness
and salvation for all who believe, and only those who trust in Him
alone are born of the Holy Spirit, are true members of the Church,
and will spend eternity with Christ.
-
That
the Holy Spirit is the agent of regeneration and renewal for
believers in Jesus Christ, that He makes the presence of Jesus
Christ real in believers, and that He comforts, guides, convicts and
enables believers to live in ways that honor Him.
-
That
ministry to persons acknowledges the complexity of humans as
physical, psychological, social and spiritual beings. The ultimate
goal of Christian counseling is to help others move to personal
wholeness, interpersonal competence, mental stability and spiritual
maturity.
