About the Muzichuk Family

Paul Muzichuk has served at The Springs Church in Florida for more than ten years, where he leads as both Missions Pastor and Counseling Pastor. He and his wife Maria, to whom he has been married for 19 years, founded Arise Biblical Counseling in 2017. The ministry has since served hundreds of individuals and families, offering biblical counseling and healing with a focus on crisis care, strengthening marriages, and preparing engaged couples through pre-marital counseling.

Paul and Maria are strong advocates for special needs families, giving leadership to a growing ministry at The Springs Church that creates opportunities for children and their families to worship, grow, and thrive in the life of the church.

Alongside counseling and special needs ministry, Paul is passionate about the Great Commission and has led missions teams across the United States and internationally, ministering in countries such as Ireland, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Colombia, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Germany, Canada, the Philippines, and Haiti. His heart is to see the gospel transform lives through both local outreach and global partnerships.

Paul and Maria treasure life with their four children Julianna, Philip, Nathan, and Amelia and are committed to serving God together as a family.

Moment of Reflection:

Maria shared how she prayed specifically for her son’s protection the night before their terrifying elopement incident. How important it is to pray for our children.

Reflect: What are some specific things you can begin praying over your own child, your family, or even the families around you? How might God be leading you to intercede on someone else’s behalf? Spend some time with those questions and then spend some time talking to God about it.
