Healing. Truth. Transformation.

The SALT Center is led by Michael and Emily Medanich, a husband-and-wife team passionate about helping people find healing, truth, and lasting transformation through Christ. With a unique blend of real-life experience, compassion, and biblical wisdom, they guide individuals and families toward freedom and victory in every area of life.

Through biblical counseling, SALT discipleship classes, and Christ-centered conferences, the SALT Center provides practical tools and spiritual direction to help you overcome root issues—not just surface symptoms—and live the life God intended for you.

What Our Happy Client's Says !

At the SALT Center, healing is not just a hope—it’s a reality. Through biblical counseling, practical tools, and the transforming power of God’s truth, individuals and families are finding freedom, restoration, and purpose. Here’s what people are saying:

I thought I had forgiven, but I was still holding onto deep wounds. The SALT materials helped me walk through forgiveness step by step with God’s truth guiding me. I now feel free for the first time in decades. 

— Kristen, Arizona

We were ready to give up. But the biblical counseling and SALT classes gave us the tools—and the truth—we needed. We learned to listen, forgive, and let God heal places we had ignored for years. Today, we not only love each other—we enjoy each other.”

— Andrea, Florida
