Mission

The mission of Selah International Counseling Ministries is to glorify God as we serve and equip His church, providing leadership and service through counseling, counseling resources, and counseling training.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Selahs personal counseling and care will serve as a spiritual emergency room for those needing confidentiality and intensive personal counseling over a period of several days. Sometimes, the needs are deeper and merit a separation from distractions for a few days of urgent attention. We see this with issues such as grief, depression, family conflict or marital crises. While Selah International conducts conferences and workshops in larger group settings, our personal counseling and care is designed with confidentiality in mind for individuals, couples, or families needing this personalized care.
