Welcome to OAM. We're not just another group in Yahoo; we are an online BIBLE counseling MINISTRY, provided by lay counselors who volunteer their time. Our counselors are carefully selected in order to ensure biblical counseling that is true to God's word. Verify our counselors at www.oaim.org/staff.html. Because this is a ministry, we believe that a unity in doctrinal issues is essential. We urge all prospective members to read our doctrinal statement here and our website at www.oaim.org .

Open Arms believes that the Bible has the answers we need for the problems we face in our lives (2 Peter 1:3, 2 Timothy 3:16-17), and that secular psychology has absolutely nothing to offer Christians. You can read more about our stance on psychology in our article on psychology.

If you need to talk with a counselor, please e-mail us at oaim@oaim.org and we will get back with you as soon as we can.

We ask that you DO NOT POST LINKS OR ADVERTISEMENTS of any kind on our message board. We view posting links on our board like advertising another church in your church's bulletin. Links belong in the links page. PLEASE READ POSTS # 3237 and # 8211 for more info before joining! We moderate posts from those who have just joined so if you are new, your post may not appear right away. We are in Yahoo Chat on Monday/Friday nights from 8-10 pm eastern.
