... As it turns out, both Eagle Brook Church and Bachmann & Associates refer out to each other. Becker said Wiertzema told him Eagle Brook was “a good solid church,” well-known and well-attended. The Eagle Brook Church website refers church members seeking marriage counseling to Bachmann & Associates on its Marriage & Family resources page. The church recommends only one other counseling center in the area: Family Innovations.
On a Marriage & Family blog post from April 2009, Marcus Bachmann posted a message stating:
Bachmann & Associates Christian Counseling is honored to be in the marital healing and restoration business. We are trully seeing couples restored, Christ is transforming peoples lives with a work of our skilled counselors and the principles of God’s word. Christ is the Almighty Counselor and we are in awe of what man would call irreparable, God brings wholeness and healing.
Thank-you for allowing us to partner with Eagle Brook.
Marcus Bachmann
