Soul Care
Spiritual Counseling
Spiritual Counseling at OCF is a non-licensed biblically based lay counseling ministry offered at no cost. Our lay counselors help individuals facing emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges. Appropriate candidates are offered 3-4 sessions with a lay counselor followed by a referral if necessary.
Spiritual Deliverance
Spiritual Deliverance is the Christian process for addressing demonization, rooted in the victory of Jesus Christ over Satan as depicted in Colossians 2:9-15. We use Controlled Confrontation Therapy (CCT), a step by step process for effective deliverance that has been utilized by many Christians to achieve real freedom from demonization.”
