Counseling and mentoring are available to Christian leaders and their families. We at Westwood want to be a listening ear and an understanding heart when it comes to sharing of personal, marital, family, or church related issues.  Christian leaders often have nowhere to turn and receive holistic Biblical counseling and complete confidentiality.  We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers the counselor.  Counselors are to bring the best skills possible to the counseling setting, yet God is the healer, and it is His insight and wisdom that we seek.

We believe that Holy Spirit guided intervention by godly care givers can restore health and hope, as well as give Christian leaders extended years of service in God's Kingdom work.

Consulting and conference leadership are provided by Westwood staff. Our staff serve as resource consultants for many Christian leaders and churches around the country. They conduct conferences in various areas of life and ministry training such as: staff training, deacon/elder training, marriage enrichment, minister/spouse conferences, Balance and Priorities in Life and Ministry, and Financial Freedom courses.  Contact us for more information. 

The vision of Westwood is to see leadership become healthy, renewed and transformed.  We are convinced that before the church can be healthy, it's leaders must be.  We therefore provide life and ministry training, mentoring, spiritual direction, and leadership development to staff, leadership teams, elders, deacons, ministry teams, and small group leaders.

One of the most exciting ministries at Westwood is the development of The Potter's Institute. For many years, Westwood has been a hospital for weary, wounded and worn-out servant leaders.  But now we feel like God is equipping us to be a wellness center for Christian leaders and their families.  That is what The Potter's Institute is all about.  For more detailed information, please click here.
