Faith Baptist Church recognizes the need for the church to minister more effectively to hurting people in these last days, and therefore, has formed the Faith Counseling Institute to provide biblical discipleship training for Bible-believing churches.
To meet this need, Faith Counseling Institute hosts annual counselor training conferences onsite at Faith Baptist Church. The goal of the Institute is threefold:
1. To equip the members of Faith Baptist Church to disciple their own families and to serve as effective disciple-makers to those within their sphere of ministry in our own local assembly.
2. To equip the missionary family of Faith Baptist Church to effectively disciple those whom God has called them to serve around the world.
3. To equip other Bible-believing churches to more effectively disciple those in their congregation and those they reach in their community.
Faith Counseling Institute will offer one course each year as the program develops.
