Counseling
& Groups
Side-by-Side Biblical Counseling
If you’re struggling, we want to be there for you, hear you and lead you towards the peace and freedom found only in Christ and His word. If you need a friend to help you find strength, hope and clarity on this journey, we will walk with you. Side-by-Side is for both general and marriage counseling.
Weddings
For couples desiring to be married at The Chapel, or offsite by a Chapel pastor, completing pre-marital counseling first is a requirement. Fill out the Wedding Interest Form to get started. Please note, the use of the Memorial Chapel for a wedding is reserved for members or regular attenders of The Chapel, and the wedding must be officiated by a Chapel pastor.
After completing the Wedding Interest Form below, our Care Department will contact you regarding the next steps.

Support Groups
Life, at times, feels incredibly difficult. We are here to say you don’t have to face these struggles alone. We have several support groups that offer you a safe place to land and seek hope and restoration in Jesus Christ.
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.John 16:33
