Acworth UMC strongly suggests seeking personal counseling when life is difficult, through transitions, or simply for proper self-care.
You are always encouraged to reach out to contact the pastors, who will provide a time to listen, pray, and seek the will of God.
Trained Stephen Ministers are also available for compassionate, Christian care.
Mental health counseling is separate from pastoral care and they often go hand-in-hand.
