MINISTRY FOCUS:
The
Fellowship of Christian Counselors (FCC) exists to provide support,
to encourage fellowship and to enhance education for Christian
healing professionals and associates to help people develop
Christian spiritual maturity.
Since
2004, when the initial planning committee met, the intent of was to
offer an opportunity for Christian healing professionals to meet
together, pray together, and learn together. We recognized the challenges
faced by others like ourselves, as well as the power we share
through our relationship with Jesus Christ. As we spoke with Christian
counselors in the community, it became apparent that many others
felt the need for support, as well.
PEOPLE SERVED:
The 2008
Membership Directory lists several dozen FCC members, the
majority of who live and work in the Fort
Wayne area, although membership is not
restricted to geographical boundaries. The majority (67%) have
masters (or higher) degrees in the counseling field, and many are
licensed with the state, although the members represent a wide
variety of specialty areas and settings.
Monthly
meetings are attended by approximately 20-30 people. Members invite co-workers
and friends in the healing professions as guests. Certificates for Continued
Education Units are offered only to those with paid memberships; but
anyone in the healing professions is welcome to attend the
educational meetings.
