Why Pastoral Care Matters

Ministry Burnout Statistics – 

  • 42% of U.S. pastors said they “seriously considered” quitting full-time ministry in the past year. 
  • Among those, 56% cited “immense stress of the job” as a factor, 43% said they feel “lonely and isolated,” and 38% named “current political divisions” as a reason. 
  • Barna also found that more than one-third of pastors are at medium or high risk of burnout (11% high risk, 26% medium risk). 

Biblical Foundation – When something is described as “Biblically grounded”, it means that it is rooted in the teachings, principles, and truths of Scripture. Essentially, it is based on the Bible as the ultimate authority and standard for thought, behavior, and decision-making.

ADDICTION RECOVERY

Addictions always originate in pain… The question is never ‘why the addiction?,’ but rather ‘why the pain?’” (Dr. Gabor Maté). Counselors can help those struggling with addictions address underlying painful issues and then break the addictive patterns.

Child & Adolescent

Behavioral issues at home or in school often have an underlying cause, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions. The experienced staff at Cord of 3 meets each child with love, builds trust, and applies effective treatment that approaches the root cause of the behavior.

Marriage & Family

As in couple’s counseling, family counseling focuses on the relationship and dynamics within the family unit and between the individual members of it. Counselors will help clients identify unhealthy or unhelpful patterns, and to address them by developing healthier communication and conflict resolutions skills, create realistic expectations, and restructure familial roles to benefit everyone. The ultimate goal is to help the family be better able to thrive as a team.

STRESS & TRAUMA

Every person will at some point have at least one potentially traumatic experience, but this doesn’t impact everyone in the same ways. When struggling to process and move on from negative life experiences, therapy offers a powerful method of finding support and healing.

EMOTIONAL WHOLENESS

Individual counseling can help overcome the sometimes overwhelming fear and hopelessness by helping you better understand the conditions that led to the emotional brokenness you are experiencing, and applying healthy coping skills against them.
