Abundant Life Christian Counselling Services has opportunities available for counselors who are in training or already degreed, to work side-by-side with a director of Abundant Life Christian Counseling Services. In this rare opportunity, you will learn the right method for helping people from the first session to completion. You will become familiar with how to begin a counseling ministry in your home, church, or office. The first hand knowledge and experience of seeing a counseling center operate on a daily basis is invaluable. There are many forms to use in a counseling ministry. You will be shown what forms to use and given an opportunity to purchase a Fast Forms CD.

The Basic Apprenticeship will consist of six (6) hours of training. The Advanced Program will contain 30 hours of practicum/apprenticeship. A discussion of fees and how to charge in your ministry will, also, be covered.

Other topics to include:

• How to advertise for free
• Becoming effective as a counselor
• Networking with pastors (a networking referral service packet is available to purchase)
• Legal issues
• An opportunity to purchase a copy of How to Begin a Counseling Ministry and Take it Higher as well as the accompanying DVD on Beginning a Counseling Ministry in Your Home, Church, or Office.

We take applicants on a first come, first serve basis. A certificate will be issued upon completion of Basic and/or Advanced Apprenticeship. Graduates can use A.L.C.C.S. as a referral in obtaining employment as a Christian Counselor. For more information, please call 865.435.5706, or e-mail us at abundantlife3@comcast.net.
