Calling all campus pastors, elders and leaders to join us as we learn to plan for suitable strategies in our goals, vision, mission, administration, and governance.

ACMC Class 2026 - Continuation on the topic of Counseling. Now a new lesson on "Marriage and Family Counseling".

Part 1 is looking into the God's design for marriage, the role of Husband and Wife, and understanding the Common Marital Problems and approach to counseling process.

Ephesians 5:22-33
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[b] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Today's Bible Study in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 on Leadership Characteristics Of An Overseer with Pastor Joel as the Facilitator.

It is the aim of every Bishop, Pastor, or Elder of the church to uphold in this character defined by the Sacred Scriptures in the whole duration of their ministry appointment. It may be hard for us to comply, but that is why we need the Helper - our God the Holy Spirit, to bring this character into our lives to reflect the Great Shepherd's character in us.

1 Timothy 3:1-7
1 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer[a] must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
