Ministry Partnership

Spiritual, emotional, relational and mental health go hand in hand.

You – pastors and leaders – wear so many hats in ministry: teacher, planner, pastoral caregiver, theologian, volunteer coordinator, coach, cultural prophet and visionary leader. Then there are the other hats you wear outside of ministry. It’s a lot.

We want to help.

Don Diva and I (Catherine Morrill), as well as other SRP therapists, have been in full-time ministry prior to becoming therapists. We know the stress firsthand, as well as the joy. From SRP’s beginning hosting healing conferences in partnership with young adult ministries, we have partnered with local churches and ministries.  

As a saint wrote long ago, the Christian community is meant to be a "hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints."

As you know, when you’re leading effectively and creating authentic communities, those who are hurting open up to you and your team.

When communities are safe-enough places for people to be transparent and vulnerable about their depression, anxiety, marriage problems or other issues, the needs can be substantial. Even if you’re amazing at providing pastoral care, you know the difficulty balancing being a steady resource for hurting folks and your other responsibilities.

We want to support you and your team.

Perhaps that looks like consulting with you when you’re not sure how to handle a situation. Or seeing some of your folks for therapy. Or offering training for your leadership team.

The partnership between SRP and churches/ministries is a natural relationship.

Individuals, couples and families thrive when inner healing and therapy are valued and encouraged in the church culture. Churches and ministries thrive when their members are becoming healthy. Please let us know how we can partner with you.

Here is what some of our partners have said about us.

  • "As a long time pastor, and now pastor emerita at Long Beach Christian Fellowship, I have partnered with SRP in various ways. At LBCF my role was primarily pastoral care for our members, and on many occasions I needed to connect an individual or couple to someone who was a professional therapist. After coming to know Catherine Morrill, founder of SRP, I referred multiple people and based on my conversations with those same referrals, the healing work that they were able to do with the therapists at SRP was literally life changing. I appreciate that there are many therapists to refer to, with differing price points which are also helpful for a church! We have also been able to host workshops and seminars with SRP; each of which was excellent in moving information about mental health into our community and our city. Currently, I serve on their Board of Directors."

  • “Serving on the Board of Directors at SRP has given me a chance to bear witness to their genuine care for individuals, families and church communities. They strive to be Christ’s hands and feet and stewards with the resources He provides them, and they have managed to multiply the fruit many times over through training therapist students, taking care of the needs of staff, and initiating necessary conversations with churches for mental/emotional health. Their humility, compassion and dedication truly make a difference in the lives they touch.”

    – ROY KIM
    Certified Sex Addiction Therapist
    SRP Board Member

  • "Soul Restoration Project has been a key partner in ministry for us for years now! Hurting people need experts to help guide them on their healing journey, and pastors like us have to know when to stay in our lane. Even with the incredible diversity of our community (from socioeconomics to cultural backgrounds and gender/sexuality), Soul Restoration Project has helped to match many of our friends with excellent support."

    – BRENNA RUBIO (she/her)
    Co-pastor, citychurchlb.org

  • “With the mental health realities of young adult Asian Americans, SRP resources have been invaluable to our staff and students. As campus ministers, often we have had to help support AA students struggling with addiction, depression or even learning to grieve. Knowing that the SRP staff can relate to our community's needs has been very comforting. As the former Director of Epic Movement, the Asian American campus ministry of Cru, we have been grateful to know Don Diva and his great team.”
