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.

"Pain, sorrow, hurt, and disappointment are unfortunately experiences that everyone faces regardless of race, gender, age, or income. Whether the guidance needed to make it through these tumultuous times is for ourselves, someone at work, or someone in our small group or other ministry, we may feel ill-equipped to provide the understanding and direction needed from God's Word."
