Balm was the resin of the storax tree that was used as an ointment for healing wounds. Thus, we have a Healer who comforts every sorrow and eases every pain.
(Jeremiah 8:22)

Fayetteville Community Church’s Pastoral Counseling Department, Balm in Gilead Ministry, is a non-denominational ministry which has been called and established upon II Corinthians 1:3-4:

"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort: Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."

We are here to be "HIS" hand extended to hurting people.
