Called to Counsel

Small Town Summits 2025

This year Small Town Summits and the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation of New England (CCEF-NE) will partner to host six Summits, one in each of the New England states. These summits will be built on the conviction that every Christian is called and equipped by God to speak grace-giving words to those around us (Ephesians 4:29), and that God uses these words to protect us from sin (Hebrews 3:13) and to stir up good deeds (Hebrews 10:24). This is very good news for small-town New England churches, where professional counseling centers may be geographically distant and counseling resources limited.

One of the tasks of small-town ministers is to learn how to more effectively counsel others, and to encourage and equip our congregations to grow in offering wise counsel. In each of our six 2025 Summits, speakers will include small-town New England pastors who care deeply about counseling, together with Andy Engert, a skilled biblical counselor and the Executive Director of CCEF-NE. Our plenary sessions will highlight the importance of God’s Word and Christ’s church for personal transformation in the life of believers, together with a call (and practical equipping) for each believer, including pastors/elders, to grow in our ability to offer wise biblical counsel. Breakout sessions, and also a plenary panel discussion, will provide opportunities to get practical, go deep, and explore through questioning.

We hope you’ll save the date and make plans to join us for a summit this year!
