History

The education ministry of the Julianna Poor Memorial Counseling Center was established on March 28, 2004 to encourage and equip those who demonstrate a calling to the ministry of Christian Counseling. The ministry was named in honor of the work and dedication of Marge Caldwell to members and friends of Houston's First Baptist Church.

1. Supervision, education, and mentoring for masters level practicum and associate counselors
2. Continuing Education offerings for the mental health community
3. Certification courses for premarital couples and parents
