Our Story

The Barnabas Center began as a dream of the leadership of Christ the King Presbyterian Church to create a counseling ministry that would provide Christ-centered counseling and expert professional care to Christ the King members and the Houston community.

Our Values

We believe God is at work in every aspect of our lives and we aim for clients to know and apply the Gospel to the deepest parts of their lives. Our counseling staff is made up of trained and licensed professionals committed to Christ and to guiding individuals towards emotional, relational, and psychological wholeness.

What We Do

The Barnabas Center offers individual, couple, and family counseling. We also offer regular counseling groups, seminars, and conferences to equip members at Christ the King and our community in counseling topics such as anxiety, grief, marriage, parenting, and personal growth.

A Little More

Barnabas is a man who traveled with the Apostle Paul on his missionary journeys recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. His name means “son of encouragement,” which was his role in Paul’s life as he encouraged others to embrace Paul and exhorted Christians in the early church to live life more faithfully.

At the heart of counseling is the need not just for encouragement but the courage to face our deepest questions, struggles, fears, and desires. Just as Barnabas courageously supported those around him, we at The Barnabas Center help you cultivate courage through counseling to live your life more freely and fully as God intends.
 
You might observe that our logo resembles a flower. Just as the four seasons throughout our year bring weather, light, and climate changes, so too the seasons of our lives bring with them variations of anticipation, joy, fear, struggle, grief, and pain. Counseling offers you a space to explore whatever season you find yourself in and we look forward to joining you in your journey to discover the hope, healing, and meaning you long for in your life.

“The seasons change, and you change, but your Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of his love are as deep, as broad, and as full as ever.” -Charles Spurgeon
