Welcome to the Georgia Board for Christian Counselors
At the Georgia Board for Christian Counselors, we are a community of board-certified professionals committed to serving the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—through a distinctly Biblical approach to counseling. Grounded in faith and guided by Christian principles, our members offer compassionate, competent care that integrates spiritual truths with emotional and relational healing.
​
As an independent certifying body, we operate separately from state licensing boards. We are not affiliated with, nor do we claim licensure by, the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists or the Georgia Board of Examiners of Psychologists.
​
Our mission is to uphold high standards of integrity, ethical practice, and Christ-centered care for counselors who feel called to support others through the lens of Scripture. Whether you are a practitioner seeking certification or an individual looking for Biblically grounded counseling, we are here to equip, encourage, and serve.
Calling All Chaplains: Georgia Wildfire Support & Recovery Needs
Wildfires continue to impact families across southern Georgia, especially in areas like Brantley, Clinch, and Atkinson Counties, where homes have been lost, and families have been displaced with little notice. The Southern Georgia fires have burned over 55,000 acres, with multiple fires still active across the region.
This week, Emerge Ministries has been actively deployed.
Our advance team has been on the ground working alongside local, state, and federal authorities to assist in the Multi-Agency Resource Center MARC, helping coordinate community support efforts for families affected by these fires. This week, our team is beginning site chaplain care and case management intake as we start our direct response efforts.
In partnership with Emergency RV and local businesses. Emerge Ministries is mobilizing a temporary housing response initiative for families displaced by the recent fires in Georgia. The current operational goal is to prepare and support 50 travel trailers to provide safe, stable emergency housing for families with children during this critical season of recovery.
To launch the first phase of this response effort, Emerge Ministries is establishing an initial fundraising goal of $100,000. THAT IS ONLY $2,000 PER FAMILY TO GET THEM INTO TEMPORARY HOUSING! These funds will help cover immediate deployment needs, including transportation and setup, temporary housing assistance, trailer maintenance and roadworthy preparation, and the operational coordination required to rapidly serve families in crisis. Continued assistance and long-term support efforts are evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to household need, financial hardship, and available resources.
Right now, Emerge Ministries is uniquely positioned to meet this urgent need. To make this possible, we are asking for YOUR support in connecting families to housing, care, and stability. At the same time, our Chaplain Response Team is serving by providing spiritual care, crisis support, prayer, and encouragement to families, first responders, and communities in need.
​
Please stand with us in prayer. Pray for protection over those still affected, for peace and healing for families who have lost homes, and for strength for first responders and chaplains on the ground.
