Based on its years of training and counseling, CCEF has developed a curriculum series to teach the basics of our biblical counseling model to church and ministry leaders and interested laypersons. Churches such as Camelback Bible Church, Mars Hill Church, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, and Capitol Hill Baptist Church have already successfully introduced these materials to their congregations.

The curriculum series consists of two courses, How People Change and Helping Others Change, written by Paul David Tripp and Timothy S. Lane. Each course has its own two-part set of instructional materials. The authors believe that individuals, small group leaders, pastors, and teachers will find the series, with the helps that are included for leaders, easy to present. The material for both courses is based on two ground-breaking books: How People Change (New Growth Press) and Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands (P&R Publishing).

In these dynamic twelve-lesson courses, Tripp and Lane lay the biblical foundation for the way God changes hearts and lives and outline how believers can be instruments of change in God's redemptive hands. Materials include extensive lesson content, homework discussion, CPR (Central point/Personal life/Relationships application), detailed illustrations, group discussion guides, and Make It Real life applications.

Products for both courses include a Leader's Guide and a Participant Workbook. When used together, leaders will be fully equipped to promote meaningful, lively discussion in their classes, and believers will catch the vision of becoming an instrument of change in the lives of others.
