Our
History
The Association of Christian Counsellors of Singapore (ACCS) was birthed in
August 2004. Several concerned Christian counsellors (the committee members
and especially its founding president, Dr Spencer Lee) felt burdened to advance
the cause of Christian counseling to guide and encourage Christians who are
struggling with life.
There are indeed many Christians who are facing spiritual, marital, family,
work, or mental health problems and are suffering in silence. ACCS was set up
to meet the dire needs of such Christians as most local churches do not provide
professional Christian counseling service to its members.
ACCS has brought together a pool of professional & lay Christian counsellors
to provide this much-needed ministry and avert that situation. ACCS would also
provide a platform for Christian counsellors to fellowship and share their expertise
to further advance the Christian counseling cause in Singapore.
To date, ACCS has 34 members and will campaign for more in the days to come.
As we organize Christian counseling seminars and training programs, we hope
to recruit more trained people to join ACCS to cater to a greater number of
Christians in Singapore.
