In 1989, Bill and Linda founded the Biblical Counseling Center in Roseburg, Oregon, to help meet the counseling needs of churches in the area. Bill has counseled hundreds of couples, families, individuals, and has also mediated for businesses, churches, school boards, and Christian organizations. Bill’s goal is to demonstrate to the Body of Christ that it is the church’s responsibility to counsel its own members, and that biblical counseling is much more effective than the world’s psychological counseling methods. To that end, Bill has taught for years a “how-to, hands-on” biblical counseling class to educate and build teams of competent biblical 5 counselors. Bill now works with pastors to develop biblical counseling teams to effectively counsel and disciple their own congregation from the Word of God.
