Chapter 1 presents a brief history of Eastridge and its ministry context, as well as the goals for this project.

It also discusses the necessity of a commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture in order to counsel biblically by looking at the passages of Psalm 19:7-11 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Also included is an investigation of various ministry models that connect biblical counseling with small group ministries. Chapter 4 records the resources, content, and teaching methodology used in the course. Chapter 5 evaluates the project based upon the completion of the specified goals, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the course.Ultimately, this project seeks to equip Christians with a framework for counseling others toward biblical change, giving them increased confidence and competency in ministering God’s Word to God’s people for God’s glory.

Using Scripture to counsel people within the church is not a new phenomenon, but in recent decades “biblical” counseling has become a source of controversy within the overall Christian community. Since the leadership of Emmanuel Baptist Church committed to implement a biblical counseling ministry, they believed that one of the most effective ways to reach the congregation with an understanding of such a ministry was through home-group leaders. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to equip the home-group leaders of Emmanuel Baptist Church with a functional understanding of biblical counseling and its dynamics within the church body with a view to implementing those dynamics among their individual home-groups. Chapter 1 presents five specific goals that were associated with this project, along with a description of the ministry context of EBC. The rationale behind this project was presented in light of that context. Chapter 2 offers a biblical and theological basis for pursuing a biblical counseling ministry within a local church. Some basic practical issues related to implementing a biblical counseling ministry within a local church are addressed in chapter 3. Solutions to various challenges were sought from other churches that have successful counseling ministries. In addition, suggestions from leaders in the biblical counseling movement were presented. Chapter 4 describes the procedures associated with this project during the fifteen weeks of its duration. These procedures involved a thirteen-week class for home-group leaders, a week of data analysis from surveys taken among class attendees, and a week of reflection upon strengths and weaknesses of the project. Findings of this project are presented in chapter 5. In general, the results were encouraging in that the class attendees gained new insights about biblical counseling and expressed more confidence in using the Bible in connection with personal counseling. Also, future plans with respect to continuing training and ministry implementation at EBC are described in chapter 5.

God does big things through small groups: He heals, unifies, encourages, and equips. Christ trained his twelve apostles in a small group. Paul and Barnabas were called to international missions while participating in a small group (Acts 13:1-3). Essentially, all believers owe something to those initial small groups, and many of us have experienced great blessing through contemporary ones. God does big things through small groups, and that's why we participate in them and aim to lead them.In this study, we will look at the WHY of small group leadership. Why should we participate in and lead them? We will consider the WHAT of small group leadership, as we look at types of small groups, their elements, and their focus. We will look at the WHO of small group leadership, as we consider qualities of good small group leaders. Finally, we will look at the HOW of small group leadership, as we consider the skills of a leader, the basic order of a small group gathering, and a sample Bible study lesson. Let's learn more about excelling at this strategic ministry together with The Bible Teacher's Guide."Helpful to both the layman and the serious student, The Bible Teacher's Guide, by Dr. Greg Brown, is outstanding!"-Dr. Neal Weaver, President of Louisiana Baptist University

The purpose of this project is to train twelve church members in order to make them serve as leaders for small groups in local churches, to equip them with biblical leadership for activating small groups, and to make them dedicate continually for the activities of small groups. This project is designed to help vitalize Korean immigrant churches through dynamic educational processes for the purpose of activating small groups in local churches. Questions regarding the present problem of complications between leaders and members in small groups were asked. The presupposition and solution concerning the current problem has been suggested based on Lawrence O. Richards' educational theory. In addition, biblical and theological foundations were also discussed. The planning and the implementation of the project at Korean First Baptist Church of Chattanooga showed that the training of leadership for small group leaders based on the premise of this current dissertation were effective for the vitalization of the participating church,

As people face addictions, deal with loss and grief, and seek help in restoring broken relationships, where can they turn for counsel and assistance? The local church has been uniquely blessed with the gift of the gospel and is able to offer hope and counsel that no other institution on earth can. In Biblical Counseling and the Church, Bob Kellemen and Kevin Carson have assembled over twenty respected ministry leaders who examine the relationship between counseling and the church. This comprehensive resource, part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition series, helps leaders and counselors develop a vision that goes beyond being a church with a biblical counseling ministry to becoming a church of biblical counseling—a church culture that is saturated by “one-another” ministry. Divided into five parts, Biblical Counseling and the Church will help church leaders: Unite the pulpit ministry of preaching the Word with the personal ministry of the Word in counseling Offer practical and theological training to equip counselors Launch and lead a counseling ministry, regardless of the size of your church Bring together the relational focus of small group ministry with the ministry of care and counseling Better understand the relationship between biblical counseling, church discipline, and conflict resolution Learn how to use counseling in outreach through “missional” biblical counseling—moving biblical counseling beyond the doors of the church and into the world
