As a Christian, it is important to seek guidance from a counselor who shares your beliefs and values. The Canadian Association of Christian Counselors Professionals (CACCP) is a professional organization that trains and certifies counselors who integrate biblical principles and Christian faith into their counseling practice. The CACCP has established a set of statements of belief that reflect their core values and convictions.

As a Christian organization, we believe in the power of prayer and will incorporate it into our counseling sessions.  In addition to our commitment to providing the best counseling services possible, we are also dedicated to upholding our 15 statements of faith as a Christian organization.

These statements of faith are the cornerstone of our beliefs and guide us in our mission to provide compassionate and effective counseling services to those in need.

1. We believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
