Have you been to an LCI event or heard about one from a friend and thought,
“Gee, I wish my church or organization offered that type of training”?
The Lay Counselor Institute recognizes that our Mission to “Prepare believers for the care of others” can have many variations. Sometimes our mission involves training individuals to become part of their church’s lay counseling ministry, sometimes it involves our support as individuals work to establish a new counseling or care ministry in their church, and sometimes it involves the presentation of biblically-based teaching for a larger audience on a specific topic.
Whatever the circumstance, we know that our message will offer hope for change, encourage growth and strengthen relationships.
We can work with you to brainstorm whether you would like to host the Glorious Mess Saturday seminar, or to present one of our workshops on The Biggest Job: Parenting, Counseling Couples, Leading Support Groups, Broken Vows: Infidelity, or some other topic of interest to your church or group. We have also provided training for pastors, elders, deacons and church administrative staff. Additionally, after his years of experience with Young Life, Dr. Clark can modify his training programs so they are suitable for your high school or college students or even your young adults/recent graduates.
If you have an idea for a seminar or workshop, or a different topic or format, we are open to that as well. If we aren’t up to the challenge, we have access to others who teach in many areas.
LCI will work with you on logistics and location; it is not a necessity that you are located in the Washington, DC Metro area … in fact, we are excited about the possibility of bringing our message to wider horizons as opportunities arise.
Finally, please let us know what we might do to help you build a stronger,
more committed and more caring community within your church or organization.
