Your Role 

As a Guided Care Advisor, you become an essential part of a growing community of mental health professionals who are stepping into ministry to support the local church’s call to care well, serve deeply, and build God’s kingdom with excellence and compassion.  

Train Care Counselors

To offer effective, biblically grounded care.

Guide Pastors & Care Teams

To make sound decisions about ongoing support.

Build Referral Pathways

To connect people to the appropriate level of care.

Strengthen Crisis Counseling

To respond with clarity, compassion, and safety.

Why This Role Matters

The need for care is growing faster than the Church's capacity to respond. Guided Care Advisors help close that gap. 

By stepping into this role, YOU help the Church:

  • Provide meaningful care to the community by integrating professional counseling insight into ministry care so support remains wise, safe, and faithful.
  • Create clear pathways for biblical care before struggles escalate into crisis.
  • Equip, train, and support lay leaders who have the heart to help but need structure and guidance.
  • Support pastors in critical care decisions by discerning what belongs in pastoral care and what requires professional referral.
  • Become a safer, more trustworthy place for those who are hurting.

Guided Care Advisor Program Review

"The Guided Care Advisor program has been invaluable in launching our Counseling Ministry. As professional counselors, we are often isolated in our work or the only counselor within our practice. This program provides a meaningful opportunity to collaborate with other counselors, learn from both mistakes and victories, and receive guidance while building a counseling ministry.

The course training materials are engaging and easy to understand, making them practical and accessible. Dr. Tim Lloyd and his team have been incredibly supportive mentors, offering not only professional guidance but also spiritual discipleship. Having this team alongside us has transformed what once felt overwhelming into something tangible, as we work together to equip the body of Christ to serve as He did."
