Have You Ever Wanted To:

• Help people but aren’t confident you have the answers?
• Point people to hope but feel inadequate?
• Provide clarity to life’s confusion?
• Give counsel that helps people thrive instead of just survive?
• Know how the Bible speaks to daily issues and problems?
• Biblical Counseling helps give all of this and more!

What Is Biblical Counseling Training?

Biblical Counseling …

• …is the practical application of Scripture to every facet of life.
• …speaks the hope of the Gospel into the darkness of a sinful world.
• …skillfully applies biblical truth into the complications of life

Biblical counseling training year 1 (BCT1) studies the basics of biblical counseling in order to give competency in informal counseling conversations.

Successful completion of BCT1 leads to certification from FBC and a consideration to be selected for BCT2.

The second year of biblical counseling training (BCT2) moves from the learning to the doing—trainees will learn, observe, and give formal counseling.
