Faith Based Institute

For your info-

Following the passage of House Bill 2481 by the Texas Legislature in 1997, Paul Carlin requested the assistance of seasoned pastoral and professional counselors, Michael K. Haynes, Ph.D. and Ken Dodson, LPC., to formulate the curriculum and structure for The Therapon Institute. Dr. Haynes served as Therapon's President for one year. After resigning that position, on February 1, 1998, Dr. Haynes and his wife Marj, received a Texas corporate charter for The Faith-Based Counselor Training Institute, Inc. With the passage of House Bill 2481 the Texas legislature opened the doors for the "faith community" to be able to acquire a State recognized counselor certification through accreditation by a well-credentialed, private sector religious training entity. Since that time, the faith-based initiatives have gone nationwide with the enormous mission of helping people to experience a change of heart, consequently a change of life.
FBCTI is one of America's leading forerunners in Faith Based Counselor Certification Training. After completing the FBCTI courses, Bill Yeary established The International Institute of Faith Based Counseling. The Faith Based Counselor Training Institute has trained and certified over 7,000 people in all of its curriculums since its beginning. As of 2007 we have students in all 50 states and 7 foreign countries through our distance learning program.
