What is ACCFS?

Apostolic Christian Counseling and Family Services (ACCFS) is a ministry of the Apostolic Christian Church of America. Our staff is comprised of professional counselors who provide information, support, consultation, and/or professional counseling to address issues such as depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, marital problems, and child behavior problems.

• Our goal is to alleviate suffering and promote Christian maturity so that people can grow in their likeness to Christ, experience a deeper relationship with God, and enter into a more effective life of service to others.
• We believe in the authority of God’s Word and recognize the importance of emphasizing grace while not minimizing sin.
• Our services will support local church leadership and local church membership.
• We believe in the diversity of gifts within the Body of Christ and will use spiritual and clinical counsel to offer healing and hope to hurting individuals.
• In order to promote Godly, healthy living and to minimize needless suffering, our services will emphasize prevention, early intervention, education, and enrichment.
• We recognize that people are complex spiritual, biological, psychological, and social beings and will seek to promote their well being in these areas using the gifts of counseling and teaching.
