Do you know someone who needs help?
Whether you are on staff at church or not, you are connecting with people who are stuck in sin, hurting because of a painful trial, and everything in between.
Counseling & Discipleship Training (CDT) is an annual conference to equip Christians to help people with their problems using the Bible.
God provides hope and help in the Bible, by His Spirit, using God’s people. We hope you’ll join us for the 2025 Counseling & Discipleship Training to get equipped to help those around you.
