Start a Counseling Ministry
in Your Church
A Lay Counseling Ministry Sets You Apart
Care for your people
In a world of hurting relationships, personal struggles, and deep pain, why is the church not leading the way with loving concern? We can reclaim this opportunity to care.
Get training and ongoing support
Reclaiming counseling and care can be daunting, especially when you are just starting out. Our Launch partnership lets you train your people well and gives you continuing help.
Grow your outreach
Increasingly, churches must build bridges to those who do not attend church. Biblical Counseling is an effective bridge that equips you to give hope to the hurting and unchurched from your community.
