About Pathstones

Born from the prayers, hard work, and dedication of the Alpine Church of Christ in Longview, TX, Pathstones Counseling Center was created as an independent nonprofit Christian counseling center seeking to serve those who are hurting in the greater Longview area. 

At Pathstones, we ask God’s guidance in helping us each day to better understand what Jesus meant when he told us to love God totally and love others as we love ourselves. We hope to glorify God by providing counseling which will empower our clients, as well as ourselves, to become a little more like Him each day. We choose to respect a client’s personal beliefs.  We choose to invite, not invade.

The services at Pathstones are provided by a small full-time staff and by a large team of volunteer workers and counselors. The Pathstones team works very hard to bring the best service possible to our community, and we are thankful for every one of them.
