NBCA Annual Conference

2016 Annual Conference on Biblical Counseling
“Have Hope, Fear Not”

We are praising God for another successful conference year!

This year's conference theme: Have Hope, Fear Not really resonated with attendees. From the opening Pre-Conference Intensive Training Seminar (How To Rise Above Abuse), by June Hunt, to the closing session by Dr. Annette Hampton, God’s Sustaining Power, and everything in between, attendees were blessed and left with some practical tools and resources for counseling themselves and others.
