About Us

Falls Family Pastoral Counseling Center (FFPCC) was started by the Reverend Father Dr. Michael Shell of the Old Catholic Church of North America. Dr. Shell is an ordained priest and pastor of the Good Shepherd Old Catholic Church.

The FFPCC treats individuals, couples, families and children with any number of complaints or problems. Utilizing Scriptural backing and the worship services of the church, any number of problems can be addressed and overcome with belief in the power of Christ.

We offer in-home counseling services, meaning that we come to you! This helps to keep our costs low and also provides a familiar atmosphere for the counselee. If this is not favorable, we do have a small office located just outside of town that can be used.
