Providus Counsel Institute provides Chistian Based Counseling to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and others facing crisis situations that benefit from fellowship and counseling. We follow and expand on the 12 Step system found in the AA literature and practice. 

     Providus Counsel Institute is a Christian Church Ministry located in Baton Rouge, La. Providus Counsel Institute was founded to help Christians through any perceived crisis with Faith Based Counseling and to assist others with minister ordination to spread the gospel and facilitate performance of religious duties. We believe that the Lord inspires us all from within and that God did not prescribe any schooling or course of study to be a requirement to preach and pastor.

     If the Lord has spoken to you and it is your calling to preach, do a prison ministry, or just marry a friend or family member then it is our mission to assist you to achieve your calling. 

Independent Christian Based Counsel Available upon Request.

The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

There is one God, eternal and self-existing in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who are to be equally loved, honored and adored.

All humanity participated in Adam’s fall from his original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and totally helpless.

The Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen  lost sinners from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.

Those sinners whom the Spirit quickens, come to believe in Christ as Savior by the Word of God, are born again, become sons of God, and will persevere to the end.

Justification is by faith and through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.

The goal of God’s salvation in the life of the Christian is holiness, good works and service for the glory of God.

At death the Christian’s soul passes immediately into the presence of God and the unbeliever’s soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation.

Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, at a time when He is not expected, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.

The Gospel of God’s salvation in Jesus Christ must be published to all the world as a witness before Jesus Christ returns.
