Counseling Services

West Chester Nazarene Church offers counseling services at no charge through Pastor Dale Wine. He received his degree in counseling from Mt. Vernon Nazarene University and has 43 years of pastoral counseling experience. He studied Dr. William Glasser's Choice Theory (https://wglasser.com/what-is-choice-theory) and uses Dr. Glasser's approach along with Scripture.

Jesus said, '“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly” (Matthew 11:28-30, The Message). Pastor Dale is committed to having that kind of relationship with Jesus himself and wants to offer it to others. Pastor Dale has done pre-marriage and marriage counseling, addiction counseling, grief counseling, counseling for depression, counseling for those who are seeking God, and many other areas of need.

GriefShare

GriefShare is a caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. Each week your GriefShare group will watch a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments, and on-location video. After viewing the video, you and the other group members will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week’s video seminar and what is going on in your lives. During the week you will have the opportunity to use your workbook for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out your emotions through journaling. Your group will spend time discussing questions and comments from the workbook study. Light snacks are offered at each session.

New Session Coming Soon

*The sessions are not consecutive and anyone can join at anytime.
