Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to delineate the need for and compatibility of pastoral counseling within the context of the ministry function at the Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn). Pastoral counseling was presented in the language of the conservative, Pentecostal church with an examination of the history of pastoral counseling movement, the Church of God, and a display of biblical counseling as it reflects upon psychology and the verbal inspiration of the biblical text. A close look at the conservative vs liberal theological conflict of the pastoral counseling movement is examined. It is research designed with a practical workshop that explains the pastoral counseling movement to the local church with information on developing a local church counseling center and the step-by-step process involved. The research shows that pastoral counseling and the Church of God are compatible and that the Bible is a usable resource for counseling theory and method.
