AACC is committed to assisting Christian counselors, whether those counselors are licensed professionals or caring church members with little or no formal training.
AACC proudly recognizes the diversity within the helping relationship and provides membership opportunities in four separate categories:
Professionals include marriage and family therapists, teachers of therapy, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, licensed counselors, and others who have advanced training in one of the mental health professions.
Religious leaders include pastors, youth leaders, missionaries, pastoral counselors, Christian educators, and others with theological and/or counseling training.
Lay counselors include church members of parachurch organizations, spouses of professionals or religious leaders, and others who are interested in Christian counseling, but who have little or no professional training.
Students include undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and certificate-based programs.
