Finally, A Community For Biblical Counselors At All Levels Of Experience!
Do you think it's a good idea to do the work of ministry alone?
Many biblical counselors, pastors, and church leaders face the struggle of working alone. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, discouraged, anxious, and even inadequate when you’re navigating the challenges of ministry without support.
Loneliness and discouragement from being in isolation.
Burnout from not having a trusted network to rely on.
Stress and anxiety from working challenging cases without the tools or guidance you need.
But, you don't have to endure the challenges of ministry alone.
Everything in one place.
Our platform provides trustworthy counseling tools, homework resources, courses, and training videos—all within a community of likeminded biblical counselors and church leaders who understand the unique challenges you face.You no longer have to spend hours researching and worrying about how to provide the best care for your counselees.All you have to do is ask for help, and our members will be there to offer wisdom, recommend resources, and encourage you in your ministry.You'll benefit from:
An Engaging Members Portal – A central hub where you can build trust with other members and strengthen your support network.
Real-Time Forums – Dedicated spaces for community-building, collaboration, and prayer to ensure you have the support you need.
Men's and Women's Groups – Private groups for establishing friendships and mentorships.
Job Opportunities Forum – More than a job board. This is a forum dedicated to job and ministry opportunities, where you can reach out directly to the member who shares the opportunity.
Monthly Themes — Monthly themes facilitate focused growth throughout the year. Imagine how you'll grow by focusing on addiction for an entire month, then crisis counseling, then trauma, and so on.

To ensure our collaborations are based on shared values, beliefs, and practices we've adopted the ACBC Standards of Doctrine as our statement of faith.Plus, all of our moderators are ACBC Certified Biblical Counselors, and are therefore subject to the ACBC Standards of Doctrine and Conduct. This provides a measure of accountability that's reassuring to our members.Join our community of likeminded biblical counselors and church leaders today!

Our pricing provides value
Our pricing not only reflects value. It provides value.Here's how:
First, Biblical Counselors Society is not for those who have a cursory interest in biblical counseling. It's for those doing the work of counseling on a weekly basis. So, we price our membership accordingly, and, in so doing, we guard the quality of our interactions.
Second, our pricing prevents people who aren't truly committed to the sufficiency of Scripture from undermining the values and goals of our Society.
Lastly, when people pay they participate. For Facebook Groups, an engagement rate of 1% is considered good! But, BC Society has an engagement rate of 84%. Now, that's real community!
Group discounts?
We initially offered a 15% group discount for churches. But, that was when our membership was priced at $49 a month. Since then, we've lowered the price by 20% for everyone.Plus, you can save another 13% by signing up for an entire year.No discount codes required. No hoops to jump through. All the discounts are built in on the front end to make things easy for you.

Statement of Faith
Statement of Faith
This Society largely consists of ACBC Certified Biblical Counselors and likeminded church leaders. Therefore, we've adopted the ACBC Standards of Doctrine as our statement of faith.Please review them here: ACBC Standards of Doctrine
Note: we want to give people room to work through their convictions. This is not a watchdog community but a collaborative community. With that said, if you are decidedly opposed to the ACBC Standards of Doctrine, then Biblical Counselors Society is not the likeminded community you're seeking.For example, if you embrace the teachings and practices of “clinically-informed” and “trauma-informed” biblical counseling, then Biblical Counselors Society is not for you. While we believe it is good and right to be informed, we don’t believe we should incorporate secular modalities into biblical counseling, which is what these other schools of thought are actively engaged in. And, for them to do so betrays the very definition of biblical counseling and undermines the sufficiency of Scripture. For these reasons, we part ways with these schools of thought, although we count them as brothers and sisters in Christ.
