BCMW also custom designs courses for academic institutions globally to help them meet the specific needs of their curriculum. Our well-qualified faculty have advanced degrees in biblical counseling and are experienced pastoral counselors as well as members of The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.<\/li><\/ul><p>None of these paths requires prior counseling experience, only a willingness to learn and the time to commit to the level chosen.

Affirms the BCMW Doctrinal Statement and ACBC's Standard of Conduct, real ministry experience, and a presentation style engaging enough to hold a room for a full day.

Requires ACBC or IABC certification and significant cross-cultural experience.<\/li><li><strong>Academic Training Professor:<\/strong> Teaches graduate-level biblical counseling courses that we offer with our partner seminaries. Holds doctoral-level theological or counseling education, ACBC or IABC certification, and hands-on ministry experience.<\/li><\/ul><p>If BCMW's mission speaks to you and you're interested in contributing in one of the capacities listed above, we'd love to hear from you.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-button-547-228 bde-button\">\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    <a class=\"breakdance-link button-atom button-atom--custom button-atom--preset-2d01fb85-312a-4452-826e-52f2934a8fa1 bde-button__button\" href=\"https:\/\/bcmw.org\/es\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" data-type=\"url\"  >\n\n    \n        <span class=\"button-atom__text\">Contact Us<\/span>\n\n        \n        \n                <\/a>\n\n    \n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div id=\"support-translation\" class=\"bde-div-547-229 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-547-230 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-scaled.webp\" alt=\"dsc0650\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-1024x642.webp 1024w, https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-768x482.webp 768w, https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-1536x963.webp 1536w, https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-2048x1284.webp 2048w, https:\/\/bcmw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC0650-1-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><div class=\"bde-div-547-231 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"bde-heading-547-232 bde-heading\">\nSupport resource translation\n<\/h3><div class=\"bde-rich-text-547-233 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>While BCMW teachers may be offering training in different locations, our translated materials remain with local host churches to share and study between modules.
