How would you like to help real people, with real problems, using your Bible?

The NCT Conference is designed to help all Christians, including pastors and lay leaders, increase their skills and confidence in the private ministry of the Word.

REGISTRATION

When registering, you will have the ability to choose between our three tracks - Fundamentals, Mechanics, or Advanced.

FUNDAMENTALS TRACK

The Fundamentals Track is our introduction to Biblical Counseling. This track is for those who have never been to NCT before and are interested in becoming better equipped for counseling and discipleship. This class is also for those who are wanting to pursue ACBC certification and have not completed the education component.

MECHANICS & ADVANCED TRACKS

The Mechanics Track is essentially Fundamentals Part 2. It is the next step for those who have completed the Fundamentals Track in the past. This track is for all those who say, "I get the what, but how?"

The Advanced Track is not necessarily for advanced counselors only, but rather it is designed to address specific topics.
