Overview
New Horizons Institute
of Counseling is an outreach ministry of the United Brethren In Christ Church, 560 Flomich Street,
Holly Hill, Florida. The Senior Pastor
is Rev. Chuck McKeown. Dr. Pierre J.
Samaan, is the Director of Counseling for this church ministry. The counseling center is located in an office
building away from the church to allow those of different faiths to feel
comfortable utilizing the Christian counseling services.
This Christian counseling ministry is founded on
Christ-centered recovery. “The Spirit
of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the
poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are
oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord… To comfort all who
mourn, and provide for those who grieve… to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of
praise instead of a spirit of despair… The counsel of the Lord will stand
forever.” (Luke
4:18-19; Isaiah 61:1-3; Psalm 33:11)

STATEMENT OF FAITH AND BELIEF
- There is one God,
eternally coexistent in three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit.
- The Bible is the
inspired Word of God and is “profitable for teaching, reproof, correction
and training in righteousness.” (2Timothy 3:16)
- Jesus Christ is
fully God and fully man, yet without sin.
As God the Son, He came to earth as man, fulfilled all He was sent
to accomplish, died on the cross for the sins of the world, and rose from
the dead. He rules today at the
right hand of God the Father.
- The Holy Spirit is
the third person of the Trinity. He
lives within each true Christian providing the power to obey God’s word.
- The church is made
up of all people who believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for their
sins, having become partakers of the Divine Nature.
- We acknowledge
that Jesus Christ is central to all true healing and freedom. Apart from Him we can do nothing (John
15:5).
- We embrace the
primary call of the church to go forth and proclaim the good news of
freedom in Christ to all the world (Matthew 28:19-20), to destroy the
works of the evil one (1John 3:8), to bring truth to those held captive by
the grip of the kingdom of darkness, and prepare the way for His second
coming by making ready His bride (Luke 4:18)
- This ministry is
based on the reality of a sovereign God who is able to do “exceedingly
abundantly, far beyond whatever we ask or think, according to the power
that works in us.” (Ephesians 3:20).
Divine things will happen when we seek to do ministry in God’s power. Man’s ways are not God’s ways, and man’s
ways (of counseling) have not produced what God’s Word says should be
produced in the counseling setting.
