About Us

  • Parakaleo Discipleship Ministries started in early 2023 to offer Biblically informed counseling as a support to local churches. We use an integrative approach to counseling that focuses on the specific needs and goals of our clients. Our mission verse for counseling is Jeremiah 1:10 “See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” In counseling, we pray that God gives us the wisdom to know when someone’s thinking and beliefs about themselves and the world around them need to be broken down and remade or built up and nurtured. We pray that we would love others in a way that draws them close to Christ, reflecting His love for them, allowing them to live healthier lives with flourishing and fulfilling relationships.

    Parakalelo Discipleship Ministries is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors who meet annually.
