Care Ministries

Care Ministries

At Faith Promise the majority of care and ministry happens through small groups. However, we do have several ministries that exist outside of groups to help facilitate care to our congregation and community.

Christian Counseling

Counseling at Faith Promise is provided by Ann O’Connor Slimp, Ph.D. Issues that are addressed in counseling include marital discord, personal and spiritual development, premarital assessment and a wide range of mental health issues.

Dr. Ann O’Connor Slimp, a licensed psychologist and Health Service Provider, integrates sound Christian principles with established psychological strategies in her work at Faith Promise Church. The counseling is confidential and short-term in nature, and is provided to those who are members or who regularly attend the church.

Although most appointments are scheduled during the day, there are some appointments available after regular business hours. Evening appointments fill quickly, so please consider day-time appointments whenever possible. The best way to make an appointment is to call the church office at 865-251-2590, dial the receptionist by selecting “0” and ask to schedule a counseling appointment. Please fill out this form, save it, and email it to our receptionist at receptionist@faithpromise.org at least three days prior to your first appointment.

Most people seek counseling for two reasons: 1) in order to change something, or 2) to learn some new skills. Dr. Slimp will seek to determine specific goals for counseling and direct each session toward accomplishing these goals. Although she cannot guarantee specific outcomes, she makes every effort to help individuals move toward desired goals.

If you have a personal emergency and cannot reach Dr. Slimp, you are encouraged to call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Celebrate Recovery

Our Celebrate Recovery ministry is a safe place for you to share your experiences, strengths, and hopes with others who are going through the "Principles" in a Christ-Centered recovery. It will provide you with a leader who has gone through a similar hurt, hang-up, or habit that will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular Step each week. More information
