2023 Biblical Counselor Training
We will be hosting two Biblical Counselor Training courses starting in January ‘23.
Counseling Fundamentals (Friday & Saturday)
Dates: January 13–14, February 10–11, March 10–11, and March 31–April 1
Times: Friday, 6:30 pm to 9 pm/ Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm
Course Description: This 32–hour course over four weekends walks through fundamental elements of biblical counseling, starting with theological foundations, moving on to essential skills, and then working through common struggles people face in life. We will look at marriage and family issues as well as personal struggles such as anger, depression, anxiety, and more. God's sufficient word is the textbook from which we derive a Christ-centered, gospel-rich, biblically-accurate methodology of giving wise counsel. For those interested in pursuing certification through ACBC, this course meets the Phase 1 training requirement.
Biblical Reconciliation and the Gospel (Saturday only)
Dates: January 14, February 11, March 11, and April 1
Times: 9 am to 5 pm
Course Description: In this advanced track of biblical counseling training, we will focus on the vital issue of biblical reconciliation. Many counseling situations involve conflicts between spouses or other parties, and this will address how to think and respond biblically to conflict. We will also go further in-depth with how meditating on the sufferings and death of Christ provide a model for the believer's life. Overall, this advanced course will help you grow as an ambassador of reconciliation and learn how to minister gospel truths to suffering souls.
