Our Mission
Biblical Counseling of Arizona was founded with the mission to assist our community, regardless of race, creed, religion or tradition, and to experience personal revival and direction through Biblical counseling. You are not meant to walk alone. Our counselors will demonstrate God’s gracious pursuit of you in relationship: listening and walking alongside of you in your struggle with encouragement and understanding.
What We Do
When a crisis hits and your world is collapsing extra help is needed. BCA counselors are here to help walk alongside you in your pain. We counsel from our own relationship with Christ and our own experience of need. We provide a safe haven and even better, a compassionate listening ear. The temptations, sin and suffering of this world, are common to us all. We bring confidence in Christ alone. We watch the Lord reveal Himself to you through His Word, the Bible and orient you to the ways of Jesus.
Why We Do It
People are made in the image of God therefore people cannot truly know themselves without knowing God. People need to develop their identity from a place of dependency on God. BCA counseling is focused on this dependency. When people get off track they need a way back to God. He tells us the way to walk through life hardships through His written Word. People can recover and gain a sense of self, a sense of purpose to live abundantly but it takes work and people need a guide. That's where biblical counseling comes in. A biblical counselor is a guide to the counselee back to thriving in Christ.
How It Started
n 2015, Biblical Counseling of Arizona became a non-profit counseling ministry. What began as a shared vision between Lisa Pearson and Kathi Bishop soon became a movement of grace and truth. Together, they introduced to our area a compassionate, Gospel-centered approach to counseling that was simply biblical.
BCA was born out of a clear need within the Christian community: a place where believers could talk honestly about life’s struggles and find practical, Christ-honoring solutions. Over the years, the ministry has grown far beyond its humble beginnings, providing counsel to thousands of believers throughout the Phoenix metro area and beyond.
At the heart of what we do is a deep desire to serve the local church. We come alongside pastors and congregations, helping people find hope in Christ and reconnect with His body. Our goal is simple: to see believers walking closely with the Lord, restored in spirit, and ready to engage their church family with renewed joy and purpose.
