Counseling Services

Smoke Rise Baptist Church continues to connect with and make referrals for counseling services during the COVID-19 crisis.  Mounting tensions due to fear of the virus or unemployment, social isolation, and disrupted routines within our families can lead to substance abuse, suicide, child abuse, chronic anxiety, and depression. For counseling services, reach out to Mosaic Counseling Group at 470.292.7485.
