Summary:This project seeks to demonstrate how to understand and apply the ministry of biblical counseling in small group settings so that Coastal Community Church may develop authentic followers of Jesus Christ. Chapter 1 presents the history and context of Coastal Community Church and demonstrates the need for this project. Chapter 2 demonstrates the biblical mandate pastors and elders have to counsel and equip members in the church so that they may care for the souls of others, using multiple passages to defend this claim. Chapter 3 demonstrates the ample resources available to equip the church in the task of soul care. Chapter 4 describes the project in detail, including both an overview of the curriculum and the manual. Chapter 5 evaluates the positive value of the project based on the project’s goals. The aim of this project is to biblically care for the souls God entrusts to his local church.
