Intensive Counseling Program
For individual and couples seeking deeper, immersive support in a focused environment.
Overview
This Counseling Intensive offers a focused week of biblical counseling for individuals and couples seeking deep personal transformation through the ministry of the Word.
Grounded in the Anabaptist tradition and a high view of Scripture, the intensive helps participants understand their life story, examine the heart, and apply the Gospel to areas of suffering and sin—leading to a practical integration plan for long-term growth and healing.
Recognizing that God created us as embodied souls, the intensive includes rhythms of rest and bodily awareness to support lasting heart change.
Cost and Accommodations
The Anabaptist Discipleship Center will provide comfortable lodging for counselee’s, ensuring a peaceful environment conducive to rest and reflection. While lodging is included in the cost, counselees are responsible for providing their own meals, allowing for flexibility with dietary preferences. Please note that transportation is not included.
