Counseling and Discipleship Training
The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) is holding a 2018 Counseling and Discipleship Training event here in Huntsville, AL at Grace Community Church over 3 weekends between March and May 2018.
From Tim Keeter, WCA Parent and member of Grace Community Church: “At first glance, an obvious question is, ‘Why would I want to attend a counseling training conference?’ And the short answer is, ‘Because you are a parent.’ This specific training offered by ACBC has had the single greatest impact on my life as a husband and parent, which is why I am excited to share this rare opportunity with you.”
Seating is limited for this event and discount rates are available for a short time, so register as soon as possible. The last discounts expire on January 31.
