You can find all you need in Christ

Soul Care

Soul Care is a Bible-saturated, Holy Spirit-guided ministry of discipleship and care that facilitates conversations, counselling, groups, classes, seminars, and conferences. It’s the practical application of God's Word in our daily lives through the power of the Holy Spirit

If God is leading you to reach out to us, there’s someone on our team who wants to listen.

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.

2 Peter 1:3

Here's what caring for the soul looks like:

GriefShare

No more doing it alone – let a group walk alongside you through grief

GriefShare is a specialized course and support group for people grieving the loss of someone close. The group is led by people who understand what you're experiencing and want to offer comfort and encouragement during this difficult time.

Registration is $30 and includes the GriefShare workbook – an asset for note-taking, journalling, and study.

Premarital Counselling

Preparing for your marriage

Premarital Counselling at Hope pairs you with a married mentor couple to discuss practical marriage topics from a biblical perspective. This is available to members of Hope Bible Church.

During your engagement, the four of you will meet privately 8-10 times over the course of 5-6 months. Once married, you and your spouse will meet with your mentoring couple 1-2 more times. You'll also be invited to join a class for newlyweds throughout your first year of marriage.

Our Premarital Counselling Program costs $125 per couple and includes all materials provided. It is a requirement for any wedding held at Hope Oakville or by a Hope Oakville Pastor off-site.

Premarital Counselling questions

What is the "Thinking About Marriage?" class?

Our Soul Care class "Thinking About Marriage?" is available to everyone. This class is not a replacement for Premarital Counselling but is an excellent first step for anyone who is considering marriage.

Can I sign up for Premarital Counselling?

Premarital Counselling is only available to members of Hope Bible Church. At least one person must be a member. To begin the process, email [email protected], and our Director of Events and Connections will reach out to you.

What happens after I email?

You will be given registration forms. Once both of your registration forms have been received, here's what you can expect:

  1. A call or email from our Director of Events and Connections to discuss the process of planning your wedding.
  2. A call or email from our Director of Classes for Soul Care to schedule an initial meeting with a pastor.
  3. Upon approval from the interviewing pastor, you'll be placed with your mentor couple.
Biblical Counselling

Finding hope in Christ

Sometimes meeting with a qualified and mature biblical counsellor to discuss real problems is the best step forward in your walk with Jesus and in the healing of your soul.

If you've suffered abuse, anxiety, despair, marital obstacles or addictive sin patterns, we're here to point you to Christ in an intimate and grace-filled environment.

What Did You Expect | Redeeming the Realities of Marriage

Sunday, January 12, 12:30PM - 2PM

You need changed expectations, you need radical commitments, and, most importantly, you need grace." - Paul Tripp This five week course is intended for couples to take together. It is appropriate for newlyweds and also couples who have been married many years.  This course is based on Paul Tripp's "What Did You Expect" resource.  Participants will watch a video each week and there will be time for discussion.

Finding wisdom in Christ

Hope Soul Care trains new, non-vocational counsellors in a three-year certification program. It’s a lengthy process but a worthwhile one. We currently have several committed and experienced non-vocational counsellors.

We need people like this to serve the body of Christ — how about you?
