Counseling Ministry
We believe that emotional and mental well-being are integral to our overall physical and spiritual health. To support this, Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church is pleased to offer the services of Vicki Soponski, MSW, a licensed clinical social worker. Vicki holds a Master's in Social Work from Boston College and a Master's in Biblical Counseling from the American Association of Christian Counseling.
We are pleased to introduce Vicki Soponski, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned her Master of Social Work from Boston College in 2015. Vicki also holds a Master's degree in Biblical Counseling and is a licensed chaplain. She is an active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Vicki's unique counseling approach integrates her social work expertise with biblical principles. She is passionate about helping others and making a positive impact on the lives of her patients. Her specialties include anxiety, stress, depression, grief, bereavement, spiritual growth, substance use, addictions, trauma, and women's issues.
We are blessed to have Vicki join us at Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church.
Vicki is employed by Carvalho Healthcare in Osterville, and over the past two years, she has been a blessing to more than 50 individuals within our congregation and community. It is our heartfelt desire that everyone with emotional and mental health needs receives the care and support they require.
We understand that the cost of these important and often essential services can be a barrier for some. To address this, the church has established a fund to help cover session fees. We kindly request that everyone contribute something to their sessions with Vicki, even if it's a small amount like $5, unless in cases of extreme hardship. Your contributions, no matter the size, help ensure that more funds are available for others in need.
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members – called Stephen Ministers – to provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people experiencing life difficulties.
We are delighted to introduce Guy Cecchi, who is serving at Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church. Guy holds a Master's Degree in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary and possesses a remarkable gift for mentoring and counseling individuals facing various life challenges.
As an active member of our church, Guy has consistently demonstrated his calling to support and guide those in need. We are truly blessed to have him serving here.
Stephen Leaders Guy Cecchi and Linda Stoll lead a team of thirteen Stephen Ministers. These ministers are trained to meet individually for an hour a week with those who need support. This caring relationship is confidential and continues as long as needed.
Stephen Ministry offers many benefits:
* **For Congregations:** It allows us to fulfill Christ’s commandment to “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12 RSV) tangibly.
* **For Pastors:** It provides a dedicated team of gifted, trained, and committed lay caregivers ready to minister to those who are hurting.
* **For Laypeople:** It offers an opportunity to nurture and use their gifts in meaningful ministry, fostering spiritual growth as they serve others.
* **For Those in Need:** It ensures a caring Christian presence to provide essential emotional and spiritual support.
Potential care receivers will meet with the Stephen Leaders, who will assess their needs and either connect them with a Stephen Minister or provide referrals to other helpful resources.
All communication is confidential.
