"When I first became involved counseling with homeless people, it was a heartbreaking experience. I saw the great need but felt ineffective. I know that God drew me to ACADC Institute to get the equipping I needed. As a result of what our classes taught me, I now have a confidence that has enabled me to penetrate the hearts of people and give them new hope and guidance in a way I couldn't do before."

"As a mother, a grand mother, and a supervisor employed full time at Loma Linda Hospital, I didn't have time on my schedule to add homework on to my busy plate. ACADC Institute offered me the only opportunity to prepare for a drug & alcohol counseling career without the burden of homework. The classes spoon fed me everything I needed to be an effective counselor.
Lynn Molina, Hospital Team Leader

"I've taken college courses in the field of drug & alcohol counseling and have found that though they are elaborate in discussing the problems of addiction, they couldn't offer real solutions. ACADC Institute was a refreshing experience for me because I found that each and every class offered not only authentic solutions, but the presence and power of the Holy Spirit as well."
Rev. Wade Kyle, Foursquare Church Pastor

"When I started coming here, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but I have found that the teachers truly have the love of God in their hearts and you can feel it as they teach us."

"ACADC Institute teaches authentic Christian counseling at its best"
Rev. Jerry Smithley, Pastor, New Hope Covenant Fellowship

"I was a Drug & Alcohol Counselor for a long time before I came to the ACADC Institute. I arrived thinking that I was an excellent counselor already and that I was really there only for the certification. But by the time I completed the program, I realized that it had given me the opportunity to rethink many of the ways I did counseling before. I'm not only a better counselor now, but a more transformed person as I grow closer in my personal relationship with Jesus Christ."
Tara Glisson - DUI Counselor

"Whenever I come to class I feel loved and accepted for who I am and I love the fact that all the students have been growing together like a family. I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as I walk in the door. No tempers arise, people are humble with one another and it's a good environment not only for the Christian fellowship I need but also for bringing out the best of what God is doing in and through each of us. There are many churches out there where I would think twice about bringing someone who needs to find the Lord for fear of what they might see. But I know that if I brought someone I wanted to help to the ACADC Institute, they would get exactly the help, the counseling and the love they most need."
Randy Fisher, Evangelist
