Meet e New Counselors
“To win, you need a lot of good counsel”
Proverbs 24:5-6
These are the words King Solomon recorded centuries ago, and
they still true today. We were made to live under the counsel of
Tammy Vaug
utstad hn God, and therefore we need to surround ourselves with voices
Th or Kn
that carry His counsel into our lives. By nature, says Paul Tripp,
we are “interpreters” of every situation or fact, but one of our problems is that we don’t always
interpret life correctly. Thankfully, God has blessed our local body and community with, first,
Lois Robinson, and most recently with Thor Knutstad and Tammy Vaughn. Each one of these
counselors brings a rich expertise ranging from Christian counseling, to pastoral counseling
and therapy. While none of these counselors are hired or part of our staff, we have made
accommodations, at our Lincoln Avenue location, to house their counseling practices. They are
eager to serve people in our church and our community. If you have specific questions about
Lois Robinson their ministries or desire to pursue counseling with them, feel free to contact them directly
