GraceWorks HomeCounselingMarriage & Family
GraceWorks is a multifaceted ministry of Green Acres Baptist Church that includes many areas of service to the body of Christ, including counseling. Whether we find ourselves needing God’s mercy concerning the pain of the unresolved or unhealed in our past, or we are seeking God’s grace to help us face the unknowns of the future, GraceWorks desires to walk with you toward healing and courage.
We live in a broken world. It has been that way since Adam and Eve. Our own brokenness and the brokenness of others spills over into the lives of everyone else. Until that “brokenness” is confronted, forgiven and healed then the old saying will continue, “Hurt people, hurt people.” Confronting the broken areas is painful, letting go of the self-protection is frightening, but the freedom, the opportunity to really live is worth it. This is what GraceWorks Counseling is about. Helping people find a way to experience the freedom of God’s grace. GraceWorks offers individual, couples and family counseling. The off campus location provides confidentiality and all counsel is biblically based, combining both spiritual and clinical aspects of counseling.
We hope that you will take a few minutes to explore the GraceWorks menu. We ask that you read more about our areas of ministry, get to know our staff and learn how to set an appointment with one of our counselors. We are here to serve the body of Christ at Green Acres and Smith County. We look forward to ministering to you.
