Submit Your Inquiry

A place for Training Center Directors and Certified Biblical Counselors to share questions, ministry matters, and prayer needs for encouragement, clarity, and support.

The International Association of Biblical Counselors exists to strengthen the church through faithful biblical counseling, sound doctrine, and Christ-centered care.

This form provides a clear pathway for certified counselors and training leaders to submit inquiries so that we may respond wisely, efficiently, and with pastoral discretion.

Why We Use This Form

This inquiry process exists for four reasons:

1. To Serve the Whole Association Wisely

Many Training Center Directors and Certified Counselors are navigating similar questions. Submitting inquiries in advance allows IABC to address matters in a way that strengthens the broader body—not only individuals.

2. To Provide an Option for Confidentiality

Your name and email are collected for communication purposes, but you may request that your inquiry be handled anonymously when appropriate. Discretion is respected.

3. To Steward Limited Leadership Capacity

As a growing association, we are not always able to respond to every matter privately or immediately. Where possible, concerns may be addressed in a general and biblically helpful way for the benefit of many.

4. To Maintain a Clear and Consistent Pathway for Communication

This form serves as the primary method for submitting questions, requests, and concerns so they can be reviewed prayerfully and handled in an orderly manner.

“Let all things be done decently and in order.” — 1 Corinthians 14:40 (NKJV)

Submission Timeline (Important)

To allow time for thoughtful review and prayerful preparation:

• Sensitive issues may require follow-up outside of group settings. 

This process helps us respond carefully, biblically, and with pastoral integrity.
