About Us

Training the saints to certification in biblical counseling

Beliefs

We believe that our Creator loves us and knows what we need most. He does not want us to settle for anything less than conformity to Jesus Christ and an ever increasing capacity to enjoy Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Word of God is not only authoritative, but sufficient–sufficient to save and sufficient to sanctify (make like Christ). All things pertaining to life and godliness are found in the Bible.

We believe that all Christians can be equipped to counsel and that counseling should be restored to the church.
