Counseling

Our goal is to establish the need for absolute dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ, in order to experience unhindered freedom, healing for our wounds, and the courage to face tomorrow with hope.

First Naples seeks to encourage and support all who come our way, leading each one into a personal saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our desire is to help you grow into a mature believer, fully equipped to handle life’s difficulties with the truth of God’s Word.

Counseling Services

Biblical counseling is a form of counseling that integrates biblical principles with psychological knowledge to address emotional, spiritual, and relational challenges.

We offer counseling for individuals, couples, and families, as well as crisis counseling and additional resources for long-term support.

Our Approach

Our counseling team provides Biblical discipleship, guidance, encouragement, and coaching. Together, we will examine patterns of thinking, speaking, and behavior that may undermine stability and take away from the victorious life promised through Christ. Establishing a scriptural foundation for life will change everyday living and equip each of us to make wise choices.

Discipleship + Mentoring

Our Equipping Ministry offers group discipleship classes on the basics of bible study and prayer, theology, and apologetics, as well as one-on-one mentorship for spiritual growth.

Wedding Policy

Wedding Policy

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

Weddings are a beautiful celebration of the Lord joining one male and one female in a life long commitment to each other and the Lord for His glory. First Naples only performs weddings for current members. All weddings performed by First Naples are conducted in accordance with the Biblical guidelines set forth by church leadership. Our church leadership considers marriage a union between a biological man and a biological woman.
