The mission of ACADC Institute College of Addiction and Biblical Studies is to equip students with the knowledge, wisdom, attitude and skill areas necessary to effectively set the captive trapped in addiction free from bondage. In a society full of people who consider themselves to be Christian, God's plan for educating His people has eroded away in our postmodern society while secular humanistic world views that oppose biblical truth has replaced it in today's colleges and universities.  Most colleges and universities in our postmodern culture have forsaken God's plans and prescriptions that lead to recovery.  

Therefore it is our mission of ACADCI to teach men and women called by God to set the captive free and equip them with the more than 50,000 life principles and promises contained in His Word.  It is further our mission to teach the new curriculum that government regulators have decided should take the place of God's Word so that our students would be able to be more effective than graduates of colleges and universities that do not maintain the cherished priorities of ACADCI.

The Mission of the Association of Christian Alcohol and Drug Counselors, as a counselor certification board officially listed in the California Code of Regulations, is to provide an entrance to the professional counseling arena, to train and certify Christian men and women who desire to do professional drug, alcohol and addiction counseling from a biblical Christian worldview and not be limited to a secular education that focuses upon humanistic worldview concepts of counselor competencies, but also gives in full measure the Biblical worldview of counselor competencies.  

1. To certify that Christian men and women who desire to practice drug, alcohol and addiction counseling as a profession have received proper training and understand how to counsel from a biblical Christian world view.
2. To certify that Christians who desire to practice drug, alcohol and addiction counseling as a profession, understand Professional Counseling Competencies from both a biblical and secular perspective.
3. To certify that students are equipped biblically, through training from the ACADC Institutes, local churches, or other institutions of learning approved by the Association of Christian Alcohol & Drug Counselors, and that they are on a committed journey to grow in grace and be people who demonstrate the character, wisdom, love, and knowledge required to effectively reach people coming out of addictive lifestyles of any kind.
4. To encourage Christian men and women to become effective counselors by nurturing a deep personal relationship with Christ so they can counsel with the penetrating power of biblical truth.
