ABOUT US
Since 1983, Focus on the Family Canada has offered help and encouragement to millions of families as they build their lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ. We work hard to respond to many real issues families face today by providing sound and practical guidance based on Christian principles. Our vision is to see every family transformed by love, vibrant in faith and enduring in hope.
ABOUT THE POSITION
The Counselling department provides brief assessment and consultation to constituents who contact the ministry, primarily by telephone but occasionally in person and via mail and email. The Hope Restored department plans and coordinates Focus Canada’s Christ-centered marriage ministry through intensive marriage counselling programs. Managers within this team train, mentor and guide team members to articulate, communicate and explain the orthodox Christian perspective through the delivery of intensive counselling sessions that focus on saving marriages that are in crisis. Counselling intensives include group and individual couple counselling sessions to help attendees deal with the issues that plague their marriage. Additionally, this team is called upon to lead / facilitate marriage enrichment events across the country. In addition to our therapists, we recruit some of their spouses and other facilitator couples to provide teaching on the Hope Restored principles to church and retreat settings.
Managers lead attendees in prayer, and Scriptural teaching. They regularly pray privately and with their team members regarding work-related matters. They interact with individuals and groups through various communication methods, and may publicly represent Focus Canada at trade, ministry and non-ministry activities and events. They may lead employees in daily devotions, prayer time and Bible reading, and may occasionally pray publicly as opportunities require.
