What We Believe

It often takes more than hourly sessions to experience lifelong transformation. 
For that very reason, we offer 5-Day and10-Day intensive visits.
Our sessions are one-on-one.

 

Throughout over 40 years of Christian counseling minstry, we have helped more than 4,000 guests and the majority of those are still living in the victory they experienced here even after 10, 20, and 30 years.

Psychology has its merits and our team is well-educated in psychological principles. However, it is the healing power of the Holy Spirit that brings about lasting transformation.

 
 

Each individual is different and we place a heavy emphasis on receiving guidance from the Holy Spirit as to the best way to address the heart of an issue. 

Together with you, we seek to discover the roots of the problem and design a recovery plan that is God-directed.

 

We don’t want to just scratch the surface.

 

Our ministry approach is to go deeper than behavioral modification by placing the source of issues under deep prayer therapy, biblical inner healing (Eph. 3:16) and acknowledgement of spiritual warfare. 

One of our highest aims is to see that you are accurately understood — but it does not stop there.

God has answers and solutions for you.

Promise of Confidentiality

Your personal story is of highest value to us and to the Lord. We consider your story sacred and strive to create a safe and private environment. We want our guests to feel welcomed, accepted and appreciated. 

As a culture of honor and respect, we do not judge or condemn our guests. Instead, we aim to love, esteem, and celebrate our guests in the manner Christ Jesus would. 

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." - Romans 8:1 (NIV)

Our Core Values

1. Integrity

We commit to honesty, ethical conduct, and responsible management.
Scripture: Proverbs 2:7; 2 Corinthians 8:20-21

2. Spirit-Led

We are fully dependent on the resurrection power of Jesus Christ and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit as the true source of healing, freedom, wisdom, and transformation.
Scripture: John 11:25; Romans 15:13

3.  Confidentiality & Christ-Centered

We follow the Great Commandment by extending Christ’s compassion, dignity, and respect, carefully protecting each person’s story as sacred.
Scripture: Proverbs 11:13; John 13:35; Luke 6:31

4. Teachability

We believe transformation requires teachability, humility, and full disclosure, challenging each individual or couple to actively participate in their healing journey. Teachability and full disclosure are essential to success. Scripture: Proverbs 12:1; James 3:1; Proverbs 9:9

5. Transformation

We believe lasting change flows from a personal encounter with God’s grace and truth, expressed through repentance, prayer, worship, Scripture, and Spirit-led ministry.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 12:2; 1 John 1:9; John 8:10–11; Romans 8:1–2

6. Hospitality

We nurture a welcoming, Christ-centered retreat setting where individuals and couples step away from daily demands to engage deeply in authentic relationships that foster healing, restoration, and renewal.
Scripture: Romans 12:13; Psalm 46:10 

Statement of Faith

The Scriptures

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. They reveal God's character, His plan of redemption, and His will for humanity, and are the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living.

God

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, perfect in holiness, love, wisdom, justice, and mercy.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, fully God and fully man. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will return again in power and glory.

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and is present and active in the world today. He convicts of sin, regenerates believers, indwells and empowers God's people for holy living and service, and produces spiritual fruit in their lives. The Holy Spirit equips believers with gifts for the building up of the Church and the advancement of God's Kingdom.

Humanity

We believe that all people are created in the image of God and are therefore of infinite worth and dignity. Because of sin, humanity is separated from God and unable to save itself apart from His grace.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is the gift of God, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus provides forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, and the gift of eternal life to all who trust in Him.

Sanctification and Transformation

We believe that the Christian life is a lifelong process of sanctification through the work of the Holy Spirit. As believers surrender to Christ, they are transformed into His likeness and grow in holiness, freedom, and spiritual maturity.

The Church

We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, composed of all believers united through faith in Him. We are called to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, care for one another, and demonstrate Christ's love to the world. We affirm the importance of faithful participation in a local church under Biblical leadership.

Healing and Restoration

We believe that God desires to bring healing, restoration, and wholeness to His people through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We believe prayer is foundational to Christian growth, healing, and transformation.

Christ's Return and Eternal Life

We believe that Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to establish His Kingdom in its fullness. Those who have placed their faith in Him will enjoy eternal fellowship with God, and all things will ultimately be made new according to His sovereign purpose. 

Our goal is that the inner man and the outer man line up more as a result of our work here at His High Places. “Inner healing” is the application of the blood, cross, and resurrection life of our Lord Jesus Christ to deep wounds and practices in our hearts, setting us free to walk as God intended when He created us. These are applied by diagnosis and prayer, but prayer is the basis of all our ministry. Inner healing, spiritual direction, and application is all about sanctification and transformation.
