Lamplight counselling offers training for churches on pastoral care topics. We seek to equip Christians to better love and support those they come in contact with. We can provide in person or online training to fit your needs and time frame.
PREVIOUS TRAINING EVENTS
Below are some of the seminars we have run in the past. We also are able to develop new material based on the needs of your church. Get in touch to find out how we can partner with your church in this way.
Conflict Resolution: 90-120 minute seminar
From struggling friendships, communication breakdowns, to family disagreements, conflict is an inevitable part of life. It can be messy and painful. It can also be confusing how to navigate it in light of the gospel. This online seminar will cover the topic of conflict from a Christian perspective. We spend time examining Biblical principles of conflict and walking through practical tips to help journey towards relationship restoration and healing.
Grief and Loss: 90-120 minute seminar
We’ve all experienced a loss. Whether it’s loved ones through death, relationships and friends through conflict, or even health and fitness through sickness. Whatever we’ve lost (or fear losing) and whatever pain grief inflicts on us God offers to give us a way forward. A way filled with comfort and understanding.
If in that darkness you’ve ever felt far from God, alone in your church family, or battered and exhausted by grief then we would love for you to join us in our Grief and Loss online seminar.
This training session explores the concept of grief, taking us through unhealthy ways we deal with loss and looking at how our faith can shape that journey. The session is designed for both those struggling themselves as well as those wanting to support others.
Pastoral Care Training: 90-120 minute seminar
Jesus says, “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matt 11:28). Are our churches extending the same invitation to the broken people coming through our doors, or the people inside the church already?
It can be hard to know how to speak to people. It can be hard to know what to say or do when someone is struggling. Through our words, actions, or lack there of, we are always communicating something to the people around us.
This seminar covers how we bring the truth of scripture to bear on our love and care of people in our church community. We walk through practical help in connecting with people in their difficult situations inspired, guided and shaped by the powerful, loving Word of God.
Anxiety: 90-120 minute seminar
There are many people in our churches and in our city who are struggling with anxiety. It can be difficult to understand the world through an anxious person’s perspective and even harder to know best to help and support people. Whether people feel a constant low level worry in the back of their minds, or their life is overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, or they have a medical diagnosis of anxiety, it is possible for God to speak into their lives and to see lasting change.
This session focusing on understanding anxiety from a biblical perspective. It guides us through helpful practical ways we can engage, love and support those struggling with anxiety and point them to the restorative power of Christ.
