"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2Cor. 5:17NKJV

Applying the Counsel of God's Word to the Issues of Life

Who We Are

Established in 2003, Steve and Melanie Hammond began Biblical Nouthetic Ministries, Inc. with a vision to bring healing and transformation to broken and hurting people.

 Our Mission

Using the sufficient Word of God, our purpose is to provide hope through discipleship, training and counsel to those struggling with the issues of life.

Through the teachings and principles of God's Word, our mission was clear. We were to provide hope where there was no hope and guidance in the midst of the emotional and spiritual issues of life.

What is Nouthetic Counseling?

The Greek word nouthesia or noutheteo appears several times in the New Testament (i.e., Acts 20:31, Romans 15:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:14) . It is translated "admonish, warn, or instruct". Nouthetic counseling upholds the sufficiency of the Scriptures as the source of answers, healing and change. We are confident that the Bible has all of the information necessary for life and godliness. There are no problems in our personal lives and between persons that the Bible does not generally or specifically address. All counseling will be conducted according to the counselor's understanding of Scriptures, according to a literal, historical, hermeneutical approach.

By God's grace, we direct the counselee toward:

  • Confidence and assurance to change the life of turmoil through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Security in a life of despair and refuge in time of need; joy in the times of sorrow.
  • Encouragement and edification through the wisdom and knowledge found only in God's word.
  • Divulging the true motives and habitual behavior of the heart and its' resulting consequences of guilt in interpersonal and marital conflicts which inevitably rob one of all hope, joy and peace.

 As a ministry of Central Baptist Church, Biblical Nouthetic Ministries, Inc offers individual, family and marital counseling within a nouthetic framework. Nouthetic counseling upholds the sufficiency of the Scriptures as the source of answers, healing, and change. In addition to other training, counselor(s) are trained and certified by the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors. For more information, please call Steve and Melanie Hammond at (716) 353-3686.
