WE BELIEVE

We believe the Bible is God’s authoritative and inspired Word, is our rule for faith and conduct, and reveals God’s great love for each of us through Jesus. (2Tim 3:16-17) We believe Jesus is the only way to experience eternal life. That through faith in His sacrificial death on the cross, anyone who believes and follows Him, can experience the abundant life He offers. (John 10:10) We believe every person is created by God to love and serve Him and others. We believe that there are times when all of us need support, prayer, and counsel along the way. Christian Counseling can be a great help in overcoming addictions, dealing with mental health, navigating personal struggles, grief or loss, and healing marital and family issues —a hopeful road to healing and change. 

David & Elizabeth have dedicated their lives to the ministry of serving others since 1984.  They have pastored churches in N.H. and Boston, MA; served as directors of Childcare Compassion Ministries in the Philippines, and as International Directors of Disaster Response in various countries with Convoy of Hope.   Seeing the increased need for counseling support ministries being hard to find, and expensive to obtain, they founded Max-Life; devoted to providing support to pastors, their families, and congregations by offering biblical counseling and coaching in a variety of areas.  Dave is an ordained Assemblies of God minister.  He holds a bachelor's and master's degree in Christian Education and is finalizing his doctorate degree in Christian Counseling.  He is a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.  He and Beth enjoy sharing life with their 7 children, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren & trips on their Harley Davidson motorcycle.  

We see more recently, an increased need in the lives of hurting people for Christian counseling, coaching, and care. This includes individuals, couples, and families both inside and outside the church. Pastors and their spouses often endure their own struggles in silence as they minister to others. We have seen this firsthand and as ministers, have experienced some of these challenges ourselves. The need is increasingly great. MAX- LIFE; a support ministry of Christian Counseling, Coaching, and Care utilizes online and in-person connections to provide a safe place for those in need, to honestly share and heal.
