Why do I need Counseling & Discipleship Training??

Individuals and families in our churches and communities encounter relationship challenges, sin struggles, and painful circumstances every day. They are desperately looking for help in how to respond to and endure these situations well.

Do you feel confident in your ability to lovingly and skillfully bring them to God’s Word for comfort and the answers they are seeking? Would you like to be better equipped to minister to the emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of the people around you? If so, please consider joining us for a three weekend discipleship & biblical counseling training event that will explore the topics of Heart, Hope and Home and how God’s Word speaks to all three.
