This dissertation develops the thesis that a pastor/professional leadership team can effectively train non-professionals in a church setting to counsel in such a way that counselees experience genuine improvement. The project describes the existing lay counseling program at Rolling Hills Covenant Church (Rolling Hills Estates, California) and evaluates the success of the program through the spiritual well-being scale, the counseling program training questionnaire, the target complaints worksheet, and the post-counseling questionnaire. The study concluded with affirmative results to all the evaluation measures, reporting positive responses from the counselors trained and from the counselees who saw those counselors. Recommendations were made for pastors to think relationally in their Bible teaching and training, and for professional Christian therapists to think biblically in their counseling. Both were encouraged to recognize the value of training lay counselors to help meet the spiritual and emotional needs of those under their care.
