Phase 1 - Observation Class

Thank you for desiring further equipping for biblical counseling!

Biblical Counseling of the East Valley is a ministry of Grace Bible Church and a certified training center for the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. Our instruction for counseling training is in keeping with the biblical convictions and doctrinal statement of our church. Please read our biblical convictions and doctrinal statement to familiarize yourself with the kind of teaching you can expect throughout this training.

This Phase 1 —Observation course includes 10 hours viewing prerecorded counseling sessions as well as class discussion. This course is typically a quicker way to complete the observation hours required for certification with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. Whether the Phase 1 — Observation course is completed or not, we still do strongly encourage participants to observe in-person counseling with their pastors or church members for greater sharpening in the practice of counseling.
