Reigning Grace Counseling Center: Who Are We?

Our mission at RGCC is simple: you. We exist to counsel and restore Christians, evangelize the lost, train individuals and churches in the practice of biblical counseling, and lead those who struggle with sinful and addictive habits to help, healing, and hope in Jesus Christ.

“If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

Luke 17:3-4

Did you know Reigning Grace has Biblical Counseling blogs for both Men and Women? See below for the latest blog post.

Biblical Counseling For Women Blog

True Forgiveness

This is the Third and final in the series on what to do with sin. “There is only one path to freedom from the bitterness of the heart and that is forgiveness. Forgiveness is an all-or-nothing proposition, there is no middle ground here. No "sort of" forgiveness will do.” Read more in the latest Biblical Counseling for Women Blog by Dr. Julie Ganschow 

Men’s Discipleship Blog

Integrity and Transparency

“The loss of transparency in the church is loss of vital power in the community. Transparency can be the first step in reviving your effectiveness of the church. “ Read more today on the latest Men’s Discipleship Blog by Dr. Jonathan Hayashi!

Chad Przeslawski

Chad has been active in pastoral ministry, chaplaincy, and counseling for several years.

A Biblical Understanding of Self Injury

“I would encourage you to follow biblical principles when dealing with self-injury rather than going the route of psychotherapy and secular counseling. Secular reasoning is contrary to biblical methodology. Self-abusers don’t have an illness that can medically be diagnosed; what they do have is a faulty coping mechanism that is truly a sinful habit.”

At Reigning Grace, we see hearts and lives changed by the power of God’s Word and the work of His Spirit. There are countless stories of the abused spouse finding freedom from the control of the abuser, of the sexually broken experiencing healing and restoration, of the depressed and lonely stepping into joy and community, and more. Yet, none of these stories are possible without our partners. Do you want to join the mission today? Click below to find out more!
