Welcome to the SALT CENTER

"It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow."- 1 Corinthians 3:7

PLANTING ONE SEED AT A TIME

We equip you with biblically based tools that bring clarity, healing, and transformation. Whether you need counseling, discipleship classes, or simply encouragement—your journey to peace starts here.

 

Healing Hearts. Renewing Minds. Restoring Hope.

The SALT Center is led by Michael and Emily Medanich, a husband-and-wife team devoted to walking with people through life’s struggles into Christ-centered freedom. Drawing from real-life experience, deep compassion, and biblical wisdom, they help individuals and families discover God’s truth, renew their thinking, and experience lasting hope 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.

Here at the SALT Center, we’re honored to plant and water seeds of truth, but we trust God to bring the growth. If you're ready for healing, training, freedom, and real change—you're in the right place.

What Others Have Experienced!

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 years. 

— Arizona Client

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.”
