Member Counseling & Care
Because we believe transformation and lasting life change is best developed and achieved within the context of the church, we've created a three step plan to support and care for our members.
1. Care Group Leader (CGL) - CGL's serve as our first responders and are often able to assist with various needs. If you currently don't have a group leader, or you've determined your circumstances are beyond what your CGL has time or capacity to address, please fill out this Care Request Form
2. EBC Counselor - Once we receive your request form, we'll connect you with an EBC counselor or pastor. As much as possible, the counselor and/or pastor will include your CGL for additional support.
3. Professional Assistance - In addition to meeting with an EBC counselor or pastor, depending on the complexities of the case, we may also encourage you to pursue professional assistance. We have a number of professionally trained and trusted physicians and counselors we can recommend if necessary.

What Should I Expect in the Counseling Session?
Our counselors will spend the first couple of meetings listening to you, seeking to understand the degree of pain and difficulty you're working through. We will identify particular issues that need to be addressed, and over time begin to provide you hope through the truths of God’s Word.
What Can Be Expected of Me (the Counselee) During the Counseling Experience?
We ask that you give the process time. Because of the seriousness and depth of the issues being addressed, we ask that you commit to at least six sessions. Often there will be homework assigned to the counselee. Our expectation is that you complete the homework each week, helping both you and the counselor move toward potential solutions.
What Types of Issues Does EBC Counseling and Care Encounter and Engage?
We encounter and engage all kinds of serious struggles. We intend to compassionately meet people where they are struggling, whether it be marriage, addiction, emotional struggles (e.g., depression, anger, anxiety), and other life issues such as divorce and grief.
