About Us - Faith Formation

Nice to meet you.

Hi, I’m Elliott Siu. I’m a pastor, disciple-maker, and Christian counselor with over 12 years of experience walking alongside individuals and families through life’s most difficult seasons. Whether you’re facing personal struggles, relational challenges, or spiritual confusion, my heart is to create a safe, Gospel-centered space where you can process, heal, and grow.

Throughout my ministry journey, I’ve had the privilege of shepherding churches through seasons of transition, discipling believers across cultures and generations, and developing spiritual formation frameworks used in seminaries and churches alike. But beyond the programs and platforms, my greatest joy has been sitting with people: listening to their stories, bearing their burdens, and pointing them back to the hope of Jesus.

Christian counseling is a method of discipleship, and my goal is to help you grow to become more like Jesus in your daily actions, emotions, and beliefs. In my counseling approach, you’ll find a blend of biblical truth, compassionate listening, and practical tools for everyday life. As a result of my formal training and experience I use an eclectic blend of the Bible, listening to the Holy Spirit, EFT, CBT, and Attachment in my counseling sessions. I believe that real transformation happens not through quick fixes, but through honest conversations, Spirit-led reflection, and intentional steps toward Jesus. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, conflict, grief, or questions of identity and purpose, I’m here to walk with you.

I also specialize in guiding people through life transitions, family dynamics, and spiritual formation challenges. From leading youth and family ministries to pioneering discipleship initiatives for adults, my experience has equipped me to meet you where you are—with empathy, wisdom, and a steady focus on Christ’s redemptive work in your life.

When we work together, you’ll find a safe space where:

Your questions and struggles are met with understanding, not judgment
Scripture illuminates your path forward without simplistic answers
We address both spiritual and practical dimensions of your challenges
Your cultural background and personal experiences are honored
Hope becomes tangible, even in difficult circumstances

If you’re looking for a counselor who will come alongside you with both biblical depth and genuine care, I would be honored to connect. Together, we can explore how the Gospel speaks to your story and how God can bring healing and hope, even in the hardest places.
