NBCA Annual Conference

2018 Annual Conference on Biblical Counseling
“Give Me This Mountain: Conquering the Mountains in Life”

We are praising God for another successful conference year!

This year's conference theme: Give Me This Mountain: Conquering the Mountains in Life really resonated with attendees. From the opening Pre-Conference Intensive Training Seminar (Spiritual and Psychological First Aid: The First 48 Hours After Crisis) by, Jennifer Cisney Ellers, to the closing session by Dr. Annette V. Hampton, It Takes Mustard Seed Faith to Conquer the Mountain, and everything in between, attendees were blessed and left with some practical tools and resources for counseling themselves and others.
