Confidential, on-campus, scriptural counseling is provided by our Vice president for Student Life, Pastor Jeff Schone, our two Tutors, Pastor Nate Savage and Pastor Aaron Bush, other pastors serving on our faculty and Ms. Angie Scharf, our called Women’s Services Director.
Ms. Scharf and VP Schone also make counseling referrals to Christian counseling services. Trained and experienced WELS/ELS counselors who can offer clinical counseling services to the students of our college meet with students on our campus. Sessions at the counseling service offices and online sessions are also available.
MLC does not want financial constraints to become an obstacle for students to benefit from counseling services. For this reason the college is able to assist students with counseling costs. The VP for Student Life can help with this. Those who would utilize these benefits need referral from Ms. Scharf or Vice president Schone.
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (Eccl. 4:10)
Jesus said, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven…” (John 20:22)
If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.” (Matt. 18:15)
If you are a student who is struggling with personal problems, family difficulties, spiritual concerns, guilt, temptation, depression or lack of self-esteem please seek counsel from a mature friend, from your RA, from your dormitory supervisor, from a faculty member in whom you have confidence, from Ms. Scharf or from Vice president Schone — and don’t forget about your pastor back at home!
There are many people ready and willing to give you the help and support you desire!
