Peer Support Listening Ministry​
Missions Statement
To glorify God by walking alongside individuals in their struggles with compassionate listening, biblical encouragement, and prayer support that points them toward hope.
​
Vision Statement
To spiritually impact our community through compassionate listening, biblical encouragement, and prayer that helps individuals understand how to apply the Good News to their lives.
The peer support listening ministry provides one-on-one support. We connect individuals experiencing difficult times with trained listeners who can offer compassion, prayer, and a confidential space to be heard. PSLs are not counselors or therapists; however, they are trained in active listening skills that help create an encouraging, loving, and non-judgmental atmosphere. Their role is non-directive: they listen with empathy, pray with and for those they serve, and help individuals process their emotions in light of hope and biblical truth.
If you are walking through a difficult season and would like to connect with a peer support listener, we're here for you. Please reach out to us at counseling@faithbiblemd.org with your name, phone number, and a brief note about your situation. We will connect you with a trained listener who can offer compassionate support and prayer. All communications are kept confidential.
