A Caring Welcome from Lion and Lamb Ministry

At Lion and Lamb Ministry, your well-being is our heartfelt concern. We believe in coming alongside individuals with compassion, prayer, and a faith-based approach to counsel, all grounded in the love of God. Our desire is to help you experience spiritual wholeness, gain renewed hope, and flourish under the guidance of Christ’s teachings.

Understanding Our Pastoral Counseling

1. Rooted in Scripture and Service

   • As a ministry committed to unity in diversity, we draw from biblical principles to address spiritual and moral concerns.

   • Our counseling sessions emphasize prayer, scriptural truths, and the loving encouragement of the Holy Spirit.

2. Pastoral, Not Clinical

   • Unless otherwise specified, the individuals providing counsel are not licensed mental health professionals (e.g., professional counselors, therapists, psychologists).

   • Our pastoral counseling is distinct from clinical therapy; it should not replace professional medical or mental health services if needed.

3. Holistic Care and Referral

   • Inspired by our belief in a holistic approach—stewarding time, talent, and resources—we strive to support your emotional, relational, and spiritual needs.

   • If we recognize that more specialized care is advisable (e.g., addressing significant mental health challenges), we will help you find qualified professionals who can provide the best level of care.

4. Commitment to Confidentiality and Integrity

   • We keep your counseling sessions confidential within the limits of our moral and legal obligations.

   • If there is imminent risk of harm or concern for someone’s safety (such as suspected abuse), we may be required by law to report this information to the appropriate authorities.

5. Voluntary Participation and Boundaries

   • You are free to begin or end pastoral counseling at any time.

   • Should it become apparent that your situation exceeds the scope of spiritual guidance, we will encourage you to seek professional assistance.

   • We firmly uphold biblical standards for leadership and accountability, ensuring that our counsel aligns with Scriptural principles.

6. Why We Provide a Disclaimer

   • Clarity: We want you to fully understand that our counsel focuses on spiritual and faith-related growth, not clinical diagnosis or treatment.

   • Protection: This process safeguards both you and Lion and Lamb Ministry by preventing misunderstandings about the nature of our services.

   • Respect for Our Mission: We believe in fulfilling Jesus’ mandate to serve and uplift others (Mark 16:15) while recognizing the distinct roles of pastoral guidance and professional mental health care.
