Reigning Grace Counseling Center: Who Are We?
Our mission at RGCC is simple: you. We exist to counsel and restore Christians, evangelize the lost, train individuals and churches in the practice of biblical counseling, and lead those who struggle with sinful and addictive habits to help, healing, and hope in Jesus Christ.
“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.”
Thank you to everyone for your support during this year's 62.50 campaign. Your prayers and financial donations mean a lot to us. Your outpouring of generosity and kindness truly humbles us. Each contribution plays a crucial role in helping us achieve our goals of heart change for life change! Your donations are going to help: the abused spouse who is seeking freedom from the control of the abuser, the teenager who has been sexually assaulted and needs healing, the recovering drug addict who desires to rebuild relationships with family and friends, the lost soul who knows that something is missing in life and needs to hear the Gospel for the first time, and more.
Even though the 62.50 campaign has ended, if you feel compelled to donate, rest assured that your contributions will continue to support our mission of Heart Change for Life Change. Your involvement, whether big or small, is the backbone of our mission, and we are deeply grateful for each and every one of you.
Julie and Larry have returned safely from their journey to Brazil. A big thank you to all who contributed to this trip, for your prayers, both near and far, and to everyone in Brazil who helped make their visit a success. During their time there, Larry and Julie had the opportunity to speak at the International Biblical Counseling Conference, the Mulher a Moda De Christo Podcast, and a local church. These enriching experiences are made possible by individuals like you who support our ministry.
On June 27th-29th, Reigning Grace Institute had its Module Three training in Kansas City. We had a great time teaching our Practice of Biblical Counseling module. Students were taught how to give hope in the darkest of human suffering and give directive counseling or correction when necessary. The student were also taught how to bring a counseling relationship to a close.
It’s not too late to sign up and attend Module Four! Training will include teaching, case studies, book groups, and discussion. Reigning Grace Institute is a certified training facility for the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC), International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC), and Fellowship of Biblical Counselors (FBC). There are two options for Kansas City Fundamentals: Certification option and Audit option. Learn more about it here.

We are excited to announce that in 2024 Reigning Grace Institute will provide a book study for all its students.
