welcome
The Bridge Counseling Ministry serves as a connection point for pastors to meet with counseling professionals to find personal healing and support. Every pastor faces challenges, whether in their ministry, their family or personal life.
Our desire is to provide pastors a safe and confidential place for counseling support without the fear of repercussions and a link to help them grow and thrive in all areas of life.
"Edify, sustain, heal, reconcile, and guide."
Dr. Joel Dominguez
