We will each complete the course work on “Caring for People God’s Way” developed by the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC). Certificates for those who choose certified training will be issued by AACC upon completion of course work.
Our Facilitator: Rebecca “Becky” Thomason is a WV coalfield native who has lived in the Charlotte area for 20 years. She was raised in a Christian family and came to know the Lord at a young age. Although she has a B.S. degree in Business Administration God called her many years later to pursue an education in Christian Counseling. After earning her Master’s Degree in Christian Counseling through Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, Charlotte in 2000, she has served in church counseling ministries and has established and led numerous lay counselor trainings. We are thrilled to have Becky facilitate our training!
