College Counseling Perspective

As College Counselors, we are not just planning for college, but for an entire life. We believe God has limitless power to shape our future and place students exactly where He can have the most influence in their lives. Our role is to partner with students and their parents to approach the college admission process with prayerfulness, enabling students to grow into responsible decision makers, using the most current technical tools and the most informed stake holders to discover God’s potential choices for them. We believe God will pave a trustworthy path for their college choices. College Counselors desire to prepare students to submit to the consequences of God’s plan for their life, with joyful acceptance and with happy anticipation of His loving care for their future.
