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. With a strong conviction of the sufficiency of Scripture for both salvation and sanctification, we seek to provide engaging speakers that exposit and apply the Word to relevant topics that men and women face.

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 begun the education component.*
REGISTERATION TO OPEN IN EARLY 2027

Mechanics Track

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?"

It is also the second part of our training toward the ACBC Phase 1 Fundamentals Training Course requirements.*
REGISTERATION TO OPEN IN EARLY 2027

Advanced Track

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

Upon registering for the Advanced Track, you will be asked to choose which workshop you would like to attend for each hour.  Please note that you will be able to choose both Advanced and Mechanics topics.
