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.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Our main Reigning Grace Office has moved to a new location at 11108 N Oak Trafficway, Ste 209, Kansas City, MO 64155. We are excited and ready to serve you at our new office! Thank you to everyone who came out and helped us move into our new space. We could not have done it without you!

On May 1st-4th, Reigning Grace Institute had its Module Two training in Kansas City. We had a great time teaching our Theology module. Students were able to gain an adequate view of God, self, sin, and the work of the Holy Spirit as it pertains to the counseling process. They were also able to learn the critical nature of grace and repentance. As well as, gain expertise in the use of the whole Bible, in proper context, to expertly care for people.

 It’s not too late to sign up and attend Module Three! 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.

When? Meeting Thursdays & Fridays 6-9 pm and Saturdays 8 am - 12 pm.

We are excited to announce that in 2024 Reigning Grace Institute will provide a book study for all its students. Whether you are an online student or planning on doing the live KC fundamentals training, this book study is an amazing opportunity to grow and learn throughout the course. The group discussion will meet weekly on Tuesdays from 6:30 - 8 pm CST. Learn more here!

Biblical Counseling For Women Blog

When Sleep Departs

“Why is it that the middle of the night thoughts are always the worst? It seems to me that the cares and concerns of life gang up and all decide to visit when one cannot sleep. These are the fretful hours, the ones where minutes tick by like hours as you toss and turn on your bed.” read more in the latest Biblical Counseling for Women Blog by Dr. Julie Ganschow

Men’s Discipleship Blog

The Process of Biblical Change

“This handy booklet explains the process of heart change in the life of a person who desires to change their life. Based on Ephesians 4:22-24 and Romans 12:1-2, this material explains why behavior changes will not bring about true and lasting change in a person’s life. This booklet is perfect for an initial homework assignment for someone in discipleship/counseling and is a staple at RGCC.”
