  • Effective, affordable and guaranteed, based upon God's Word, to work as you allow God to meet your needs.

  • As a training center, we know how to help you more effectively than others because of our innovative approach to problems. We are a pioneer-biblical counseling Ministry.

  • Great News! There is a beginning and ending to your counseling. It is not necessary nor required to come for an extended period as required by most secular counseling to reach only tolerable recovery and not total freedom.

  • You will find God at our ministry waiting to love you and set you free. We love you too! The Lord is waiting your call home.  No one can do it all alone.  Isolation opens the door to deterioration. Together, with faith, we are a majority.  God is not through with the work He has started in you.  Your setbacks are only setups for God to take you to the next level.  All your disappointments are going to be turned into God's reappointments as you seek Him in faith.

  • Our sessions are very affordable - about half the cost of secular therapy. Most insurance companies will not reimburse for services because it is up to the individual, church, and Christian community to provide for and to help with spiritual needs. Many people are over whelmed  when faced with problems, struggles, heartaches, shame, etc.  However, it is the Believer's faith that makes the differencec.  Faith is the inner confidence that something exists other than what you actually see or experience.  It is planted in us by God.  When we choose to believe God, we get God's attention and He begins meeting our needs as never before.  This can include finances for biblical counseling.  Do not fall for the devil's trap of believing your circumstances instead of God.  God is the source of all answers and needs.  Look to God for answers and He will reveal Himself as never before to you in your circumstances.

  • We offer support groups on child-rearing, financial wealth, and other topics.

  • You will be satisfied as you progress in counseling by dealing with and overcoming your own problems as never before until complete freedom is experienced. As long as your are willing to put up with situations and people that frustrate you...it is difficult to work for change.  God is not going to make you change.  It is your choice.  When you are willing to endure a problem, you will  not reach for God's solution.  God is motivating you toward HIs solutions now.  We can walk with you in your new journey.

  • We have complete sensitivity to each counselee's needs. We have never turned anyone down whom is really seeking help in resolution of their conflicts.  The decisions you make today determines what God does tomorrow and  in your future

  • Receive counseling through our local office, phone or webcam sessions.  Secular therapy mostly offers only tolerable recovery along with some type of mental health diagnosis.  Some diagnosis can be harmful to the one given.  An example is depression.  Some employers, military and other careers will not hire someone with certain type diagnosis.  Please be careful of secular therapy.  Secular counselors are mostly paid through insurance companies whom require a mental health diagnosis!  We do not fall under secular reqgulations and will in no way hinder you or any present or future emplyment status!

  • We have counselors on call 24/7 for your emergency needs. God promised to supply all your needs.  Philippians 4:19 states "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  God's economy is not dependent upon man's economy.  He will supply every need for the counseling help you need. Your suppply comes according to God's deep love for you, His power to help you and His wisdom to guide you. TRUST HIM BECAUSE HE IS TRUSTWORTHY!

  • As a training center, we know how to help you more effectively than others because of our innovative approach to problems  and one-of-a-kind training material we have developed and published.

  • We offer a church referral list to help you find the perfect church for your family.

  • Many people are called into a counseling ministry while in counseling at ALCCS.

  • We train others to begin counseling ministries through our one-of-a-kind course eititled "How To Begin A Counseling Ministry and Take It Higher." Written by Dr. Nation, this material has been used of God to start counseling ministries throughout America since its publication in 2005.

  • We offer lay training programs and degree programs that are 95% successful in helping  to free people from their problems.

  • We use the latest, state of the art training so counselees can be confident in knowing their counselor is called and thoroughly skilled and trained.

  • We are conducting ongoing research and development of new products, services and methods to help the Christian counselor.

  • We offer on-site apprenticeship and possible placement for ministry.

  • We offer assistance with career direction and possible placement in counseling or other areas where God calls you.

Positive-Powerful Results are guaranteed as you seek God's counsel and apply the Truth that frees. You will be shown proven priciples and truths specific to your situation allowing you to safely discover a new and exciting life as never before-God's Will.

Love will be restored to your life and relationships as God heals and restores every area to you. Hurry now to make your appointment with one of our sensational counselors. A new and miraculous life is awaiting you.

 

Isaiah 42:16  "And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.  These things will I do unto them, and not forske them."

You can't see the wind but it is still there!  You may not be able to see God is working but He is!
