Nebraska Conference
September 12-15, 2023
Midwestern Baptist Church
Omaha, Nebraska

Recommendation from Pastor Mark Bentley, Pastor of Midwestern Baptist Church, Omaha, Nebraska

Dear Dr. Coomer,
Our church had the opportunity and privilege to host the Hope Biblical Counseling Center National Training Conference this past week. I was unsure of what to expect as I have never had the opportunity to either go through counseling or go through counseling training. The four-day training was extremely valuable. In fact, a fellow pastor friend texted me the following….“one of the most profitable weeks I have ever had”. Wow! My thoughts exactly! It was four days of walking through the proven process of helping others with Biblical long-term change. Testimonies were given to back up the principles. It was also four days of personal revival. Topics were preached such as anger, bitterness, keeping our children’s hearts, communication in marriage, walking with God, dealing with lusts, and many others. They were taught using many, many Bible verses, God’s Word, which changes lives. They were taught so we could teach others but taught to us as Christians first. God knew what I needed, and God showed me many things to work on and challenged me to begin new habits in my daily walk with God. I am excited to see the fruit of those four days not only in my own personal life, but also in our church moving forward. Dr. Coomer is a gifted Bible teacher, and it was a privilege to sit under his teaching. He has a heart to help others and a special gift from God to do so. He is a friend to pastors and missionaries. I am thankful that God crossed my path with him, and that God allowed me to go through the training. I would encourage any pastor to take advantage of any future training conferences. It will give tools and allow the Holy Spirit to take the Word of God as it is taught those four days to apply long-term Biblical change in your life as it did in mine. Thank you Dr. Coomer for your ministry.
Pastor Mark Bentley

Colorado Conference

Conference Information

This conference is for Pastors and wives, Assistant Pastors and wives, youth workers, couples, parents, grandparents, and laymen who really desire to learn how to deal with life issues of people from the Bible.  We view Biblical Counseling as nothing more than “intense Biblical discipleship.”  In a day of popular psychology we know and believe that God’s Word has the answer for every person’s life.  We use the Bible for man’s needs not popular psychology.  Our only desire is to help people to Biblically change their lives and to live a life honoring and pleasing to God without chaos and destruction.  The goal of every Christian’s life should be to glorify God.

Here at Hope Biblical Counseling and Training Center we receive many emails and phone calls each week from Independent Baptist people asking for help. Why are they asking for help? Because their life is in destruction mode. Sadly, many of these folks are pastors and missionaries. Proverbs 13:13, Whoso despiseth (does not give proper attention to) the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20,  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  (20)  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

What will happen at this conference? This is a
working-learning-how to conference

This is an exciting time of learning how to help people from the Bible solve the most serious issues of life.  The emphasis of the conference is that God can change lives through the work of the Holy Spirit and His Word.

Romans 15:1-4, 13 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.  (2)  Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.  (3)  For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.  (4)  For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

This will be our 11th class of the Hope Baptist National Biblical Counseling Training Conference. We have had hundreds of people attend and we have  had attendees from 17 foreign countries around the world, including Israel. The conferences have seen  a great movement of the Spirit of God.  Many of the attendees gave testimony of how God had changed their lives by attending. Many pastors, missionaries, and lay people have said, “It was a life changing event for me.”  Upon completion you will receive a certificate stating you have completed a course of study in Biblical Counseling.

One of the most moving times of the Biblical Counseling Conference was the testimony each morning of a person who had went through Hope Biblical Counseling Center and volunteered to share how God had dramatically changed their lives. The testimonies were from people with broken lives that God did a great work in their lives and they had the courage to tell about their lives and how God had changed them to have a real, intimate, personal, and passionate relationship with God.  They are now writing new and wonderful pages in their lives.

Each day there will be teaching on different issues and how to deal with them Biblically and each attendee receives a binder with more than 555 pages plus charts to help them deal Biblically with the serious lusts of people and to see Biblical long term change in their lives.  There will also be teaching on how a church can start a Biblical Counseling program at their church.  Hope Biblical Counseling Center believes that Biblical Counseling is nothing more than intense discipleship from God’s Word.  We are not psychologists.  We believe the answers to life’s needs are found in God’s holy Word, the Bible.

1.  Attendees will be provided more than 555 pages of material (a three ring binder of Biblical counseling material which will be gone through with the attendees). The binder is an extensive and complete organized counseling program that deals with how to Biblically counsel people in the areas of: learning how to be a Spirit controlled person, marriage, divorce, rearing spiritual children, spiritual and emotional immaturity, bitterness, anger, demand lusts (lusts that control behavior), moral issues, health issues, addictions, hurt, thought life, trials and sufferings, grief, depression, worry, anxiety, fear, the put off-put on process, Biblical discipleship including the work of the Holy Spirit in a person’s life, diagnostic tools, and much more. We will also learn what the Bible says about why people believe they cannot change their lives and how we can Biblically change it.  The attendees are given a list of more than 132 books that are effective discipleship tools. We also go through the primary books we use to Biblically change people’s lives.

Pastor,  have you ever just looked at a couple who came to you for help and wondered what can I do to help this couple?  We will teach you where to start, what materials to use, and how to effectively Biblically change people’s lives.  This is a conference that anyone who attends will go away with great tools to use in their own life, to grow spiritually, and learn how to Biblically disciple and  uplift others.

2.  The attendees are taught how to start a Biblical Counseling /Discipleship ministry at their church and learn how to effectively and Biblically see long term Biblical change in people’s lives. You will learn what it means to have a real, intimate, personal, and passionate relationship with the Saviour.  You will learn what it really means about the Holy Spirit’s work in a person’s life and how to apply it.  (Sadly, most people do not understand this issue). This is a most important conference in learning how to apply Biblical truth to the life. It is a life changing conference! (See testimonies below)

3.  The conference starts at 9:00 A.M. and ends at 4:00 P.M. each day,  Tuesday thru Friday.  All attendees receive homework and reading to do in the evenings in preparation for the next day’s class.  There will be no nursery or service for children. The conference is for people 16 years of age and older.  Lunch is provided each day by the church  Each person will be responsible for their own accommodations.  For more information contact Dr. Terry Coomer at 501-596-2870, hopeforyou@hopebiblicalcounselingcenter.com.

4. The cost to attend the conference is minimal and determined by the host church to cover the cost of materials. Please see the registration button above for each host church. All of our primary books used in Biblical Counseling will be available to purchase on the book table. Seating is limited and we encourage you to register early.

Testimonies and Pictures from
Previous  Conferences

Dr. Don Jasmin in the Fundamentalist Digest said in recommending the conference, “GENUINE BIBLICAL COUNSELING TRAINING CLASSES?  YES!! Individuals, Christian couples, and pastors who attend this seminar will surely be Scripturally instructed and informed how to genuinely help others properly confront the burdens, sins, and weights that trouble them. Dr. Terry Coomer started five churches across the United States and the churches grew under his  excellent evangelistic and edification leadership. Hope Biblical Counseling Center which receives numerous calls, letters, and emails for assistance with individual and family problems is an outgrowth of For The Love Of the Family Ministries.”

Some Pastors Who Attended

Pastor Coomer,

Thank you again for all your labor’s on our behalf, and for sharing the spiritual tools you shared with us.  Below is my testimony of the conference.

What a blessing it was for us to host the Hope Biblical Counseling Conference at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Dr. & Mrs. Coomer arrived on site with a servant’s heart and desiring to encourage others.  He and his wife certainly exemplified Spirit-filled living while they were here. Many in our congregation were touched by the Holy Spirit as they were given tools to develop a real relationship with God and practical insight to walking in the Spirit, and God dealt with many hearts in a short time. My personal faith grew and I was encouraged knowing that if I can apply these simple truths and pass them on to my children and to other believers, that many pitfalls resulting from living in the flesh can be avoided and that there is hope for people no matter what they are facing in life. Certainly hosting and/or attending a Hope Biblical Conference is well worth it personally and as a church.  Many of our people are still talking about what they have learned and are working to put into practice the simple, practical principles they learned. With little emphasis in the church today on developing a real relationship with God, and walking in the Spirit, Dr. Coomer hits the nail on the head as to where people’s problems are coming from today and how they can have hope to overcome them. As a pastor, I was equipped with practical tools to help people with their problems.  Every pastor ought to carve out the time to get to one of these conferences.

Seeking to Serve,

Dr. Coomer,

Pastor Coomer and Hope Baptist Church,

You all exemplify Christ in your attitude of servitude.  The conference showed us how God changed lives through His Word and equipped us with the Scriptures and tools to help others.  We love you and your ministry; you are an encouragement to us.  You sure are kind people!  Hebrews 6:10

Hello Pastor Coomer,

Within a few days of leaving the Biblical Counseling Conference in Arkansas, I met a young Mexican man who suddenly lost his wife and has three children. I was sure glad I had some of the resources I learned or acquired from your course. I was able to share with him of the hope we have in Christ and he accepted the Lord. Praise the Lord and thank you for your ministry. I felt much more equipped to talk to someone who had just lost a loved one.

Dear Pastor Coomer,

My wife and I are on a new road now. I came into the conference just hanging on as a mechanical Christian.  I was discouraged because I was overwhelmed with people issues and did not know how to help them.  I now know how and it has changed both of us.  This conference was a life changing event for us.  Thank you for your help and compassion for us. The Holy Spirit worked in many hearts as I was listening to others talk about what they had learned.  God bless you and your church!

Dear Dr. Coomer,

It has been almost 2 weeks now since I attended your Biblical Counseling Conference at Hope Baptist Church.

Since that time, I have been listening to many of your on-line sermons, and following your recommendations to have a real relationship with God.

I had not realized before the Conference just how much pride I have in my heart.  I had a critical, judgmental spirit and looked down on other people, and truly thought I was better than everyone else because I could see their struggles, but refused to look at my own.

I just want to thank you again for the Conference, and for your willingness to seek after God, and obey Him, and then share what you have learned with everyone.

It has been difficult these past 2 weeks in some aspects because I am finally facing the sin in my own heart, and because my commitment to God has caused problems with some personal relationships, but I am also very excited at the work God is doing in my heart and life.

God bless you!

Dr. Coomer, 

Thank you for coming to Ireland to hold the counseling seminar at Good News Baptist Church in Mullingar. My family and I are newly arrived missionaries in Ireland, and the conference was very timely for us as we anticipate dealing with people who have deep spiritual needs because of their lack of knowledge of God and His Word. I appreciate that you stressed the key points of having a relationship with God, meditating upon His Word, and obeying the Holy Spirit. These are answers to all of life’s problems! You also gave us many tools and resources to confront head on all those very difficult issues that plague sinful human souls. Thank you Dr. Coomer for equipping us and giving us training and a fresh vision for dealing with people in obedience to the Great Commission! Thank you for coming to Ireland. We were greatly blessed and we look forward to seeing you again, Lord willing.

Missionary to Ireland
