About The American Biblical Counseling Association.

We are revitalizing biblical counseling and making it relevant for all people across our nation.

Solving the problem

While biblical counseling has often addressed the spiritual dimension of humanity, a significant gap remains in its opportunity to provide comprehensive care that fully incorporates other vital components of well-being. It is essential that people can confidently turn to the Church to receive quality, competent care for life’s challenges. Such challenges frequently extend beyond the spiritual to encompass other critical aspects. We are committed to developing biblical counselors who are thoroughly equipped to address the full spectrum of complex needs presented in America.

Our mission.

We certify and regulate biblical counselors nationwide, ensuring they are equipped with a comprehensive, clinically informed, and biblically based approach to affirm the churches calling in treating people with care and excellence and to connect those in need with the highest standards of counseling, empowering all to grow together in Christ.

Our core values.

Biblical authority

Counseling must be grounded in the Word of God because Christ alone is the “Wonderful Counselor” and He is the Light of the World. Good counseling must prioritize the spiritual and always point people towards eternity.

Clinically informed

We do not divorce biblical counseling from science or psychology but rather subject these two studies under the authority of Christ and filter them through the lens of Scripture.

Comprehensive Care

Counseling requires treating the whole person—body, mind, and soul. We use God's Hierarchy of Needs to train counselors to serve with excellence in 7 critical dimensions: spiritual, relational, emotional, personal, mental, physical, and eternal.
