What is "A.T.C.I.P.?" 

ATCIP is a prayer aid and guide that I've used for almost 40 years. I've shared and taught it in every church I've pastored, and I've used it in my biblical counseling ministry.

SYMBIS Marriage & Premarital Counseling

Strengthen your marriage with the SYMBIS assessment. This Christian counseling tool helps couples understand their relationship dynamics in applicable ways. Each partner answers the assessment questions separately. Next, the couple comes together to review the answers and implications with our certified SYMBIS Assessment biblical counselor.
 
The assessment can be used for pre-marital couples as well as couples who are already married! Learn how to overcome your differences, with topics ranging from finances to sexual intimacy to personality types. This experience lays out the steps you can take to strengthen your marriage.

Suicidal Ideation: What to Look for and How to Respond

Thanks for Attending!

We hosted a free 2-part virtual training for pastors and Church leaders on October 16th, and October 23rd, from 6:30-8:00 PM. Attendees learned who is at risk, signs to look for in those contemplating suicide, and steps to take when someone confides they are struggling with suicidal ideation.

We also covered information on teen suicide - statistics, specifics on how to connect with teens, and possible reasons why teens are at increasing risk of suicide in today's culture.

Thank you to those who attended this important training!
