Foundation Counseling Ministry

What is it?

This Foundation for Counseling Ministry school focuses on learning relationship skills. Relationships can be a tremendous blessing, but they can also make our life very difficult. But God is a God of relationships. Lets look at healthy, biblical principles together and learn how to apply them in our own lives as well as how to be a help for others.
This school gives you a firm foundation and many tools to work with other people – whether you will be staff in a YWAM school or work in a cell group of your home church.
