A Unique 3-Weekend Format
Fridays: 5:00 pm to 9:45 pm | Saturdays: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
Our unique, three-weekend format allows you to return home and practice what you learn, then come back with comments, questions, and experiences to talk about. Our goal is to help you become a better Biblical Counselor, and we believe this is the most effective way to do that.

"For the past 5 years, our church has been sending people for biblical counseling training and we have seen a significant impact on the lives of those receiving the training, as well as on our church as a whole. We are thrilled that we are now able to host this vital equipping conference here in southeastern Michigan.
