I believe when Christian workers have professional credentials then, and only then, will the non-Christian community turn to the church for help. This will provide us with an opportunity to share our faith and lead them to salvation. When we have proper training and professional credentials, our telephones will ring. I am having some marital problems. Trained counselors can help these people and have many opportunities for evangelism.
Church growth is a result of becoming involved.
Because of the recognizable need for training and professional credentials, the N.C.C.A. has developed a training program which includes a therapeutic counseling model for Christian laymen, ministers, and professional counselors. The N.C.C.A. has developed a biblically based counseling model known as Temperament Therapy. Temperament Therapy maintains that man was created in the image of God. Thus, man, as the image of God, is a rational being endued with knowledge, righteousness, and holiness. Temperament Therapy holds the view that all people are created as unique individuals by a sovereign God.
