Ravines Counselor Staff
The Ravines currently has 2 Counselors on contract to do Christ-centered Couples Counseling Intensives. In the process of selecting these counselors, we spent countless hours of interviewing to strive to find what we felt was the best fit for the Ravines ministry.Our main criteria were:
1. We looked and listened to the heart of each counselor. We wanted to know that they loved the Lord, believed in the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and agreed to the Core Values, Statement of Faith, Theoretical Basis for Counseling, and Position Statements.
2. The counselors believed that marriage was ordained by God, and they would be willing to do whatever they could to bring hope and restoration back into a marriage. While we recognize that divorce happens, our hope was that we would do everything we could to save the marriage, trusting in the Grace of God to bring this about.
Once our counselors were selected, they were trained in Intensive counseling by the Director of Quiet Waters, Denver, Colorado. This was accomplished through several hours of initial training. The Ravines counseling staff continues to have support and on-going training from Quiet Waters as needed.
