About Us

Our Mission

• "Our mission is to help people engage in an active, life-changing friendship with God"  The Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:10 that he wants to experience the fullness of Jesus in every possible way. CrossCounsel is creating a community of transformationally-minded disciples with amplified lives profoundly impacting the world for God's Kingdom.  As shown in the parable of "The Soil" (Matthew 13, Mark 4, Luke 8) - CONDITION PREDICTS RESPONSE (sometimes a sad barometer of our maturity).

 Our Vision

• To provide a safe place for people to receive God’s transforming Truth   
  

• To train and develop competent, committed and compassionate prayer ministers

• To grow and expand high quality, fully functional CrossCounsel centers across the nation

• To be a resource and respite for pastors and ministry leaders

• To establish sustainable partnerships with individuals, churches and ministries

Our History

CrossCounsel was established in 1996 by two people interested in having people set free by the power of the Cross, the Exchanged Life available in Jesus Christ and the establishment of believers walking in the Truth of God's Word empowered by the Holy Spirit.  The main approach used was traditional Biblical Counseling.

Our ministry, as well as our lives, were dramatically changed with the introduction of Theophostic Prayer Ministry®  (TPM) in 1997.  Those things that we highly valued from the beginning became more attainable through TPM.  Theophostic, meaning "God's Light", took our ministry to a whole new level.  We moved from simply being cognitive in our approach to actually experiencing in our hearts what Scripture says about our faith - free indeed!

CrossCounsel has been at the forefront of this powerful move of God.  Rev. Steve Freitag joined us in 2000 and has been our Executive Director since 2003.  Steve has tens of thousands of hours of experience ministering Christ’s healing to hurting people, and has spent thousands of hours teaching others to do the same.

2006 brought CrossCounsel to the forefront of the international scene in TPM.  We were asked to give a presentation at the TPM International Convention in Florida.  This has birthed relationships with ministries literally all over the country and globe in 2007 to the present.

2008 saw us take a huge step forward as we sought and acquired our own status as a non-profit organization.  This gave us more freedom, credibility and opportunities.  This led to our biggest step of faith since 2000.  In April of 2009, we made the commitment to our current office space in Madison.  

Our ministry continues to grow and gain momentum.  God has multiplied us and our efforts.  We added "CrossCounsel Dallas" in 2010.  "CrossCounsel La Crosse" (WI) launched in 2011.  We look forward to all that is to come in 2011 and beyond.
