What:

Cornerstone Discipleship and Biblical Counseling Training Center is designed to practically equip you to grow in your walk with Christ and to help you equip others as well.

Why:

It is the desire of Cornerstone Church to have Christlike, competent, and compassionate disciple-makers and counselors who use the Bible as the only authority for help and change in the context of the local church. It is our desire that through counseling and counseling training that that we have a church of equipped men and women who are competent to counsel one-another. It is also our desire that we pass on what we have been given so that other churches in Wyoming and in the world will be filled with competent biblical counselors. 

The training center accomplished this by:

1. Giving an overview of what the Bible says about discipleship, counseling and the issues of life.

2. Laying out the distinguishing features and methods of biblical counseling that are distinctly biblical.

3. Building upon a foundation by which you are equipped to competently counsel yourself and others with the Word of God and are able to equip others to do the same. This will result in developing a culture of discipleship and counseling in the church.

4. Seeking to equip others to live out the central mission of the church so as to be a church where the culture is all about making disciples who make disciples all for the growth of the body.

These classes also provide the training requirements for ACBC certification. See biblicalcounseling.com for more information.
