Careers at CCEF

All employees proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through their employment, and thereby further CCEF’s mission to restore Christ to counseling and counseling to the church.

CCEF was founded in 1968 and stands in a long tradition of pastoral care that dates back to the first century church and the New Testament. Through the centuries there have been high points and low points in the church’s understanding and practice of good pastoral care. High points include the early church fathers, the Reformation, the Puritans, and Jonathan Edwards. In principle, for the first 1900 years of the church’s existence, the Scriptures formed the basis for diagnosing both psychological-spiritual maladies and interpersonal problems. And Scripture offered a consistent basis for addressing peoples problems by rooting our lives in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. So in many ways, CCEF’s ministry is not new, because its theology expresses this heritage of God-centered understanding of people and a Christ-centered understanding of how God redeems people.
