Hi, we're Kirk & Melanie Lewis

Throughout the years, God has grown us to be desperately dependent on Him so that we may help you find Christ relevant to every area of life. Through the ministries of Desperately Dependent Community in Chattanooga, TN, we engage and encourage Christian leaders to promote effective and sustained ministries.


For decades we have ministered as a team, challenging people to an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. As counselors, we are committed to using biblical principles to facilitate healing and liberate weary souls from emotional bondage. Our counsel is founded upon the belief that Jesus Christ is the center of well-being and that the Bible is the authority. Through the consistent application of biblical truths, we foster a community of compassionate caregivers who strive to point others to find Christ relevant to every area of life.
