In addition to the free biblical counseling we offer to church members, attendees, and anyone in the Pensacola community, we also strive to equip the saints for the work of ministry (Eph 4:12) by providing training for discipleship, soul care, and counseling.
Upcoming Trainings
We hope to offer biblical counseling training in the future. These seminars qualify for the Fundamentals portion of ACBC’s Phase 1.
Past Trainings
Our biblical counseling & discipleship training for 2023 consisted of three weekend seminars. Part 1 was March 31-April 1, Part 2 was May 12-13, and Part 3 was June 16-17.
Additionally, Dr. Don Roy graciously offered to come an additional Saturday to provide ACBC exam prep for those wishing to pursue ACBC certification.

Everyone shares advice, but is your advice biblical?
The question is not, “do you counsel?” but rather “how biblical is your counsel?”
In everyday life, we counsel and advise one another. Sometimes people need counsel when they’re in crisis; at other times, we simply work together to grow in Christian maturity.
How can you learn to be more biblical when it’s your turn to counsel?
A Training Course in the Fundamentals of Biblical Counseling
What is it? The first half of the course is an introduction to biblical counseling designed to acquaint people with an understanding of how the sufficiency of Scripture impacts the way we view our struggles. It also deals with the general principles involved in biblical counseling and how one would apply Scripture to situations involving anger, conflict, depression, fear, temptation, and dealing with trials.
The second half of the course focuses specifically on biblical views of marriage and parenting and how to deal with common problems in these areas.
Who should attend? Anyone interested in learning to:
Apply the Scriptures to your life
Disciple others
Better advise and counsel others
