LIVING A BETTER LIFE TOGETHER
Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Direction
​
​
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need a listening ear, a caring heart, and spiritual guidance to help us navigate difficult seasons. At St. Paul’s, we offer Pastoral Counseling, a ministry of prayer, wisdom, and encouragement for anyone seeking hope, healing, or direction.
Our rector, The Rev. Joseph Acton, is a warm and compassionate pastor, certified in pastoral counseling, with years of experience walking alongside people in times of need. Whether you are facing grief, stress, family challenges, or simply want to deepen your faith, pastoral counseling offers a safe space to explore God’s presence in your life.
This ministry is open to everyone—newcomers, longtime members, and anyone in the community who needs support. If you'd like to schedule a conversation, reach out to Fr. Joseph Acton at jkadesertcall@gmail.com. You are not alone, and we are here to walk with you on your journey of faith and healing.
