The BCPPC is charged with becoming financially self-sufficient as well as keeping costs for credential holders as
low as possible. The BCPPC must therefore rely on credentialing fees to cover its operating, consulting, research,
and advocacy/defense missions. Even so, the following fees are substantially less than comparable national
certification groups. Annual fees for both BCPPC and AACC membership are less than the cost of most other
professional association fees without a national credential.
The Christian Care Network, as it had formerly been structured, is no longer considered as a separate member
division of the AACC (such as the Society of Christian Psychology, the Biblical Counseling & Spiritual
Formation Network, the Black African-American Christian Counselors, etc.). It now represents that group of
Christian mental health professionals, counselors, and lay helpers who have been properly credentialed through
the BCPPC and included as part of our organizational resource and directory lists to the general public. Our goal is
to create a truly comprehensive Christian Care Network that integrates the entire continuum of counseling
services and ministries, from professional practitioners to those individuals who provide lay helping such as
support group resources, mentoring, mediation, and life coaching.
Please Note: BCPPC credential holders, who wish to be part of the American Association of Christian Counselors
comprehensive Christian Care Network, must also be members, in good standing, with the AACC.
