Equipping Seminary Students for Biblical Counseling Certification at Inter-City Baptist Church in Allen Park, Michigan

Abstract

This project sought to equip seminary students for biblical counseling certification at Inter-City Baptist Church in Allen Park, Michigan. Chapter 1 describes the ministry context of Inter-City Baptist Church and establishes the project’s goals. Chapter 2 defends the biblical and theological basis for the project by examining three passages that describe how God has called pastors to equip the saints for interpersonal discipling (Col 1:28–29; Eph 4:7–16; 2 Pet 1:2–11). Chapter 3 presents the foundation for equipping seminary students to help people change, using a God-centered operational methodology. Chapter 4 details the project. Chapter 5 offers an overall evaluation of the project, with suggestions for improvement and further development
