The Bible teaches that believers have the responsibility to admonish the unruly, encourage those who are struggling, help the weak, and be patient with everyone (1 Thess. 5:14). We find, however, that many Christians, even some pastors, are intimidated by the implications of that passage to those whose marriages are declining, to those who are struggling with anger, to those who are depressed, and those with other problems.
Therefore, we have designed a counseling training program, based on over 40 years of counseling experience, that will help you help those who are struggling – whatever their particular concerns might be.
Our class meets for eleven weeks, but holidays are observed. Therefore, the length of the class will range from 11 to 13 weeks depending on the holiday schedule. The training course begins at 9:00 am and concludes by 9:00 pm.
This is a certified training Center for those wishing to pursue ACBC Certification. For more information on ACBC Certification, please visit www.biblicalcounseling.com.
From 9:00 am until 1:00 pm the counseling staff presents lectures on the most common counseling problems. Topics include:
Our staff counsels from 1:00 pm until 9:00 pm in five different counseling hours. You will have an opportunity to observe about 20 hours of actual counseling sessions during the course.
Those who have taken the course before consider the observation time as a crucial part of helping them prepare for their own ministries.
These required items are bundled and available at a discounted rate through Faith Resources.
The current cost of the training course is a nonrefundable $239.00 plus $50.00 for the class notebook. This fee includes at least 30 hours of in-person lectures, 30-day virtual access to all recorded lectures (at the conclusion of your training module) and live counseling case observation and discussion.
The required books and pamphlets should be purchased prior to the first day of class.
Please Note: The cost of the training course is subject to change.
