About the Pathways Ministry

The mission of the Pathways ministry is to provide professional, confidential, Christian counseling to the individuals and families living in and near the communities of Swansea, Vandalia, O’Fallon, Waterloo, Jacksonville, Springfield, Carlinville, Maryville and Carmi, Illinois as well as Evansville, Indiana.

Our qualified mental health professionals deal with a broad range of relational and psychological issues with both expertise and Christian compassion.

When you call a Pathways office, you can get information on all BCHFS services, including adoption, foster care, maternity care and residential treatment. Pathways staff will refer you to the appropriate program and person to answer your questions.

Additionally, Pathways staff may provide assistance to churches, Sunday School classes, missions groups and other organizations that are interested in social ministries. BCHFS staff members can facilitate seminars on various topics of concern among children and families, such as parenting skills, self-esteem, relational issues, grief and loss, etc. If you see a need in your church or community for information on these topics, give your local Pathways office a call.
