Welcome to Grace Biblical Counseling Ministries

Grace Biblical Counseling Ministries (GBCM) provides biblical counseling services to those seeking God's answers to the questions and problems of life.  We believe that Scripture is the inspired and infallible word of God and is therefore authoritative and useful in all issues of life.  We offer free biblical counseling sessions to those in need, as well as educational services to individuals or churches who desire to learn more about biblical counseling.

All of GBCM's counselors either are already NANC certified or in the process of achieving NANC certification.  Currently, counseling sessions are primarily scheduled on Thursday evenings.  Occasionally, due to high demand for biblical counseling, we find that all of our counselors are completely booked and we have to place potential counselees on a wait-list.

If you have any questions about Grace Biblical Counseling Ministries, you may contact us by emailing info@gracebcm.org.

GBCM is a local ministry provided by Grace Bible Fellowship Church of Melissa, Texas.

What hope is there for my problem and/or question?

In today’s complex world, God’s practical counsel is desperately needed. There is tremendous hope in the fact that God has provided His Word, the Bible, to give answers for your problems and questions. God says He has provided everything necessary for a person to know Him and to live in a way that pleases Him. God promises to help and bless those who obey His instructions in the Bible. Therefore, the one who seeks after and follows God’s answers for life can have great hope, contentment, and direction to handle all the pressures of life.

Who can come for counseling?

GBCM offers counseling for individuals and couples. One need not be a regular attender or member of Grace Bible Fellowship Church to receive counseling.

What kind of counseling is offered?

Counseling is available to help with any problems you may be facing --- marriage, parenting, addictions, disorders, fear, anger, grief, etc. Our counseling approach is based upon the truths of the Bible. Since God has fully provided answers to all of life’s problems in the Bible, it is superior to any other source of counsel. It is our goal, therefore, to skillfully and practically bring God’s answers to bear upon the difficulties you are facing.

Counseling sessions normally last one hour each week for approximately 8-15 weeks. The number of sessions may be shortened or lengthened depending upon one’s progress.
