Services
IBCD (The Institute for Biblical Counseling & Discipleship) exists to strengthen churches in one another care. We serve organizations and individuals who share a passion to see believers equipped through life's struggles with the Word of God.

We do this by offering training through our Care & Discipleship program, as well as offering counseling resources, events and free resources that are helpful to anyone interested in learning how to better help others.IBCD is passionate about one another care. We believe this happens within the context of the local church, and that pastors are the shepherds entrusted with soul care (1 Pet 5:1-4; Heb 13:17).
The Care & Discipleship Course is designed as a entry-level biblical counseling program. Many churches and individuals use it as a standalone course for equipping in one-another care. Through the course, participants can expect to learn basic methodology and fundamentals of biblical counseling, as well as biblical strategies for dealing with common difficulties, like anxiety, depression, marriage conflicts, and more.
As a small non-profit, it's your support that enables us to produce quality training resources like last year's new Domestic Abuse Resource Handbook, which is now being studied all across the country. The response we have heard has been so encouraging, and is a reminder of how directly we can impact lives in the church.
Get access to all of our premium video training for less than $5 per month via one annual charge. This is our most popular plan, the easiest way to get started, and the best value! Your IBCD account will keep track of your progress and your unlocked videos will appear throughout the resource library.

Thank you for all the resources to educate and encourage us in Biblical counseling. My husband and I run a non-profit that offers free biblical counseling to the community and IBCD & ACBC have been essential in our growth.

Today I am sick in bed with the flu and God led me to check out these videos. What a wonderful providence! Of those I've been able to watch I can say that they've been inspiring to me in every aspect of my life as man, husband, father, pastor. Thank you!

What a blessing IBCD has been to my life and our ministry as missionaries to Papua New Guinea. I was able to use our satellite internet and complete the Care and Discipleship courses online! The Observation… videos were hand carried by a visitor to our field of service. Thank you so much for making it all extremely accessible. Having learned so much, I feel better equipped to speak into another's life. God used you to help me to help others. Love it when our God wins. Thank you from the other side of the world.
