Shalom Ministries transforms lives by integrating theology, neuroscience, and soul care to heal the deep ruptures in our connection with God, ourselves, and others.
The Hebrew word Shalom goes far deeper than just peace — it means wholeness, repair, and even the crushing of the chaos that fractures our lives, often beginning in childhood through broken attachment and the absence of attunement from our primary caregivers.
Our mission is to crush everything that impairs secure attachment to God through a faith-based approach to behavioral wellness that helps us securely attach to ourselves and others.
We believe the groundbreaking approach of spiritual formation and relational neuroscience paves the way to a life of Shalom.
FOCUS AREAS
Our mission is to create a nurturing environment where individuals can
experience holistic healing and restoration through:
Promoting
Mental Wellness
We are committed to supporting our Detroit community with accessible resources, activities, and spaces that nurture mental well-being from a
faith-based approach we call spiritual formation and relational neuroscience.
Fostering Youth Development
With our unique emphasis on spiritual formation and relational neuroscience, we focus on preventative brain development in children and youth by harnessing attachment theory to lay a strong foundation for their future.
We also equip parents to understand the importance of face-to-face engagement, or attunement, as a vital way to build secure connections that foster lifelong emotional, relational, and spiritual health.
Building Community
We desire to create a welcoming environment for healing and connection. Whether through group therapy, face-to-face engagements, retreats, or specialized support from our exceptional team.
"Today, contemporary neurobiologists and attachment theorists are confirming what has been God’s design for human beings since the beginning of creation.
Beginning in infancy, our brains are formed through face to face experiences of love. We develop fully into our true identities through experiences of attuned attachment to God, to self and to others."
-Dr. Pam Pangborn
Based in the Word of God
We believe that, with the help of theology, soul care, and the breakthroughs in neuroscience, we can understand what the Bible has been telling us for over 2,000 years: we are not to be conformed to the patterns of this world, shaped by chaos and dysfunction, but to be transformed by the renewal of our minds.
Underscored by Neuroscience
Neuroscience now affirms we can rewire our brains, break free from destructive patterns, and experience profound peace. By confronting our inner struggles, with the help of God’s presence and the latest scientific insights, we can unlock our full potential for healing and connection.
