News from Across the Conference: Pastoral counselor reaches thousands
MARTINSBURG, W. Va. ? 'Though the Rev. Warren Watts doesn't have a traditional church congregation to lead each Sunday, his counseling work has reached thousands of people,' a front page story in The Journal reported.
Watts is the director, supervisor and counselor of the Tri-County Pastoral Counseling Service in Martinsburg, located in Calvary UMC. He is a special consultant to the school system where he reaches out to at-risk children.
He has appeared in court 1,230 times testifying in family cases, divorces, custody conflicts and child and youth sexual assault cases.
In 33 years of counseling, Watts has provided counseling to 38,000 people, 7,000 of whom were children and youth. He started the counseling service in June 1972. June marks his 44th year in ministry.
The Mountain State Counseling Alliance with over 2,000 members presented him the 'Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Counseling.'
