This week's podcast is part two of a visit inside a CCEF Training classroom, Tim Lane's Counseling in the Local Church class. In a segment of the class titled "Growth in Grace," Tim helps us understand how essential the community of the local church is in the sanctification of each of its members.

Speaking of CCEF Training, we have some exciting news!

Over the years, many of you have inquired about ways to use your CCEF course credits in accredited programs. CCEF is making that available to you through a partnership with Biblical Seminary (Hatfield, PA). Over 20 years ago CCEF launched Biblical Seminary’s original counseling program and now CCEF and Biblical are offering accredited distance learning courses.

Your first opportunity to take an accredited Distance Education course is this January when Dr. Tim Lane teaches: Counseling in the Local Church. More information at the Biblical Seminary website

But there’s more! You may also be eligible to convert CCEF classes taken over the last five years to graduate credit at Biblical. This may enable you to pursue a degree at Biblical or to transfer those credits to another institution to meet your academic goals. Contact academic@biblical.edu for more information. An administration fee applies to courses accepted.
