Overview

Counseling is an excellent service and much-needed ministry that many churches offer to their congregation and local community. Some churches allow only pastors to counsel, others provide staff and volunteers to help others. Counseling, however, is a ministry with many risks and legal concerns that should be considered by all who participate in such a ministry. If your church has a counseling program or is planning to launch one, use this material to protect and build a healthy ministry.

This tool is adapted from the Church Law Today training program and Pastor, Church & Law, 3rd edition by Richard Hammar.

This Training Pack contains all of the following:
