Every church already has what it needs to counsel their own. They just need training to use it.
What is biblical counseling? Biblical counseling fulfills the Great Commission by teaching people what Christ commands in the circumstances they face. Biblical counseling rests on a simple premise: Scripture speaks to all of the struggles in people’s lives, not just the struggles they bring into a pew. Anger, grief, conflict, addiction: each has a root, and Scripture addresses that root directly.
Biblical Counseling Ministries Worldwide (BCMW) exists to train Christian pastors and church leaders across the globe to counsel from that conviction, equipping them to walk with their congregation rather than referring them elsewhere.

How we serve
BCMW serves churches in two distinct ways. Most of our work trains pastors and leaders directly, building global churches’ internal capacities to counsel and equip their own people. A smaller, specialized branch supports missionaries, who carry the same struggles as everyone else but often serve far from a church that can walk with them through it.
Biblical Counseling Training
Pastors want a framework grounded in Scripture and opportunities to practice walking through real cases with someone who’s done it before. BCMW’s training develops both elements, coaching pastors and ministry leaders from a basic understanding of biblical counseling to confident, independent practice within their own congregation.
Missionary Soul Care
Missionaries care for everyone around them, but rarely have anyone to care for them. BCMW’s Missionary Soul Care Network exists to fill that gap, connecting missionaries and disaster relief workers with trained biblical counselors who understand the specific weight of life on the field. Roughly 40 counselors currently serve in this network, across a range of countries and languages.
Need counseling or training?
If you’re a pastor or church leader looking to better fulfill the Great Commission by bringing biblical counseling training to your church, reach out! We’re always looking to expand into new regions, and we’d love to explore what that might look like with you.
If you're a missionary or disaster relief worker looking for counseling yourself, the Soul Care Network connects you directly with a trained counselor who understands your context.
