We were created for connection, yet the skill of connecting with others is learned. If we haven’t had opportunities or teachers in connection we will notice sooner or later because we begin to experience sadness and emptiness, as well as, in other circumstances, anxiety.

At Vine, Christian Counseling, we help teach and model skills of connection.

Marriage is a covenant sealed by YHWH. It is not to be entered into lightly. The purpose of marriage is not happiness. Of course, that is often a byproduct along with other joyful benefits. No, the purpose of marriage is to refine and to sanctify- to transform two into one. Whether you have been married for one year or for twenty years Vine Christian Counseling is here to support you.
Immediate in person openings in Cedar Rapids and tele-health.
