Counseling & Discipleship Training          

“Biblical Counseling: Biblical Answers for the Problems of Life”         

Biblical counseling is intensive discipleship.  It is ministering the Word of God to people where they need it the most right now.  Everyone is a counselor to someone.  Spouses, parents, teachers, pastors, youth workers, church leaders, and health care professionals are regularly giving advice about a variety of subjects. The counseling ministry of Wheelersburg Baptist Church is committed to the absolute sufficiency of the Word of God.  We believe that in the Bible God has provided us with real answers for the real problems people encounter in life. If a person came to you depressed, heavy with guilt, near a “breakdown,” anxious, fearful, full of bitterness, with marital problems, or overwhelmed with grief, would you know what to do according to God’s Word?  The goal of this training is to equip God’s people to be able to minister God’s Word to those in need.  If you want your counsel to be more biblical, insightful, and helpful to the people you care about, consider participating in this course.         

          

Wheelersburg Baptist Church offers training in Biblical Counseling through one-day training symposiums and a twelve-week training course in January each year for  Biblical Answers for the Problems of Life in our Counseling and Discipleship Training.  See Resource Tab and Counseling Training link for more details.
