The Future Home of Grace Counseling Opening Late 2024

In 2022, in an incredible act of big-hearted generosity, the church next door gave Grace their building and property — debt free.

This year, we begin transforming it into Grace Counseling’s new home: The Center for Teaching and Healing, expanding our space from seven counseling rooms to 24. We can’t wait to see the healing and hope it brings. 

Where We Need Your Help

Program Expenses

Donations can be used to expand the range of services offered by the center, such as adding additional employees, new counseling programs, support groups, or specialized services for  specific populations.
