Although T2i employs a preventative-education model, we recognize that certain unfortunate circumstances can—and most probably will —develop because of the reality of sin, even in the lives of believers. Our training programs equip pastors and lay leaders to handle private counseling needs, and T2i seeks to keep that function in the jurisdiction of the church as much as possible. However, we will review and accept private counseling requests for those extreme cases that cannot be resolved within the church.
