CCPC History Overview

Christian Counseling Professionals of Chicagoland began in January 2011 with over 30 individuals from 17 Christian counseling agencies gathered at Meier Clinics of Wheaton. In this initial meeting, we discussed ways to collaborate and offer mutual training, marketing, and outreach projects. A Steering Committee was formed and met faithfully each month to create objectives and goals as a unified group of believers.

Statement of Faith

Christian Counseling Professionals of Chicagoland, as an organization and as individuals who are associated with it, affirm and place our trust in the central Christian belief that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord, and incorporate these Christian principles in the treatment of mental health.

Further, we affirm and place our trust in the historic doctrines of the Christian faith as expressed in the following modern translation of the Apostle’s Creed from the original/Greek text:

“We believe in God the Father almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead and buried;
He descended to the place of the dead.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
And sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal church,
The common bond of all believers,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.”
