e are excited to announce more details about
our 2016 Mega National Conference in Dallas,
Texas, on September 15-17. Our prayer is that
you will join us to be encouraged, trained, and
better equipped in the work and ministry you are called to do
by God.
This conference will be one of the most exciting, ground-
breaking, and valuable gatherings for Christian leaders to take
place this year. Nearly 2,000 Christian counselors, pastors, life
coaches, and other caregiving professionals will learn innova-
tive and best practices, have the opportunity to network with
colleagues, and enjoy a great time of fellowship and fun. Built
around the four streams of Counseling, Recovery, Marriage
and Family, and Professional Coaching, the AACC 2016 Mega
National Christian Counseling Conference will once again
feature Specialization Counselor Training and Coaching Inten-
sives, along with engaging keynote addresses from world-class
leaders, powerful praise and worship, and cutting-edge profes-
sional workshops. The Conference will offer several options for
attendees to tailor their individual experiences to meet person-
al needs and interest areas. Choose a 12-credit-hour intensive,
four targeted workshops from one of our eight distinct tracks,
or “mix and match” workshops from different tracks to piece
together the training you desire.
