Family
Life & Counseling Ministry
Our Focus
Our
primary focus in Family Life and Counseling is to help Belmont
Church members experience and express the love of God in all
relationships, especially family life. For this reason we
offer ministry and equipping in personal
wholeness, marriage and parenting.
Personal Wholeness
Theotherapy
Retreats, Personal Growth and Ministry Training (PGMT) Class:
Since 1996 Belmont Church has partnered with Theotherapy Seminars,
Inc., to provide ongoing retreats and classes to aid our members
seeking to grow to maturity, but who might be stuck in some
place of relational wounding. Participants experience
new levels of conviction, confession, forgiveness, grief,
comfort and, ultimately, a deeper intimacy with the living
God. From this new place of intimacy (and love) with God we
are able to love ourselves and others as He has intended for
us. The intensive PGMT class is open to those who have attended
at least one weekend retreat or have otherwise satisfied the
introductory requirements for this level of ministry and training.
MARRIAGE
Marriage Training: We regularly offer pre-engagement
and pre-marital counsling for Belmont Church couples. Contact
the church counseling office to make arrangements. Marriage
training classes are also offered regularly. These weekly
classes and weekend seminars are led by Belmont pastors and
leader couples. Notice of Belmont Church and other recommended
marriage training opportunities is posted on our website and
listed in the weekend announcement sheet.
PARENTING
We regularly offer parenting
classes as part of our Wednesday evening equipping
program and occasional Saturday seminars. Classes require
some reading and homework to put into practice the biblical
principles that are being taught. Classes offered are First
Steps in Parenting, Parenting the Elementary-Aged Child, and
Parenting Adolescents.
