Celebrating Ten Years of Ministry!!

Our beginning...

In 1998 a committee from the Huntsville Association for Pastoral Care was formed to explore the need for and interest in an ecumenical pastoral counseling center. During this process, Frank Broyles, Executive Director of HAPC, introduced Amanda and Jack Ragland to Jim Norris. The Raglands and Jim shared a common vision for a pastoral counseling center that would be supported by and accountable to local congregations who wanted to partner with one another to provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families in North Alabama, regardless of their ability to pay. In March of 1999, The Vine Pastoral Counseling Center was established, and the vision became a reality. We are thankful for the opportunity to be a vessel of Christ's compassion and healing in the world. We are grateful to those who have supported and partnered with us, making this all possible.

In ten years we have...

• Provided 26,975 hours of counseling to the community,
• Provided thousands of dollars of Scholarship Assisted Sessions
• Grown to include 18 supporting churches and 2 supporting organizations

In the future we hope to...

Continue to reach more people through additional staff and offices which will allow us to extend further the ministry of reconciliation. We want to be vessels through which Christ binds up the broken hearted in our world.
