Our pastors are certified in biblical counseling through Light University and the American Association of Christian Counselors. Our counselors are not licensed professional counselors and therefore cannot diagnose illnesses, create treatment plans, or prescribe medications, but they are able to provide certified biblical life guidance and coping mechanisms to encourage a fulfilling life. Our pastors receive continued education through Light University’s School of Biblical Counseling & Psychology in order to provide the most effective care with compassion and empathy.
Life is full of trauma, tragedies, and barriers. Connecting to godly Counseling should not be one of the barriers. If you are interested in any of our counseling services listed below, then please reach out to us by clicking the Contact Now button below.

Mental Health Research Partnership
QTHM is partnered with Temple University in research to help improve the support that faith communities provide to their members and their families struggling with mental health abilities. We are helping develop a guide that will assist in making sure these communities will be educated and confident in making everyone feel included regardless of their limitations. Meetings are held the 3rd week of every month. If you'd like to help in this research, then please contact us on our contact page.
Our ministry supports inclusion and encourages the overall well-being for everyone. We provide emotional, social, and metal support to men, women, and children, who face life challenges. Our support helps to eliminate any stigma around gender, race, sex, or different abilities. We love helping others and adding value to the community and globally.
