Basics Biblical Counseling Seminar: April 20-23, 2026

The Basics Seminar teaches the basics of biblical counseling and is required before attending any of the advanced Specifics Seminars. Each participant will be challenged to understand the biblical basis for women counseling women, the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, the underlying causes of behavior, the steps of helping women who are engaged in sinful life patterns, and the process of achieving real and lasting change.

A Zoom option is available. See the info guide below for more information.

Specifics Biblical Counseling Seminar: October 5-8, 2026

The advanced Specifics Seminars are designed to address specific problems that are prevalent among women in our churches today. The speaker will take the Scriptures and show how to find help with these specific problems. Some areas discussed include eating disorders, rebellious children, step-parenting, depression, and chronic bitterness. The Specifics Seminar is a four-year curriculum.

A Zoom option is available. See the info below for more information.
