Lord willing, Augusta Counseling Ministry will host a conference entitled, “Counseling Resources for Care in our Assemblies and Evangelism in our Communities.” The venue will be Fairhaven Ministries (https://fairhaven-ministries.org/) in the mountains of Tennessee on March 20-22, 2025.
Featured speakers are Paul Rabideau, an elder and New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor who supports CMML missionaries and Tammy Hollingsworth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Executive Director of Augusta Counseling Ministry.
Paul and Tammy will be offering guidance to interested elders, their wives, and other church and ministry leaders on how to recognize mental health problems, the need and opportunity for counseling ministry in the assembly, how counseling offers a venue for reaching the lost in our communities through trained counselors, and the importance of assembly leaders to carefully and biblically support those who seek to enter this professional field.
Seminars will range from an “Introduction to Counseling Ministry” to practical advice and aids for dealing with a range of counseling issues including addictions, depression, anxiety, child abuse, family/childhood trauma; and evangelism opportunities afforded to believers trained in counseling – all topics that church and ministry leaders are likely to face in their ministries.
The cost for the weekend will be $100 per person/$200 per couple. Details and registration can be found at augustacounselingministry.com. If interested, please contact Tammy Hollingsworth at [email protected] or by telephone at (706) 872-1717 with any questions.
