Q & A

Q 1. What BMC and CCAH each stands for?

A 1. BMC stands for "Biblical Marital Counseling." CCAH stands for "Calvary Chapel Anaheim Hills," which is the church registered as a Non-Profit Religious Corporation in California. CCAH as a spirit led church is a global church regardless of race, gender, age, wealth, denomination, handicap, or educational background, whoever loves Jesus Christ all may join and learn the knowledge of God wherever, including the internet. BMC, with Trade Mark (TM), is an auxiliary of CCAH falling in "any other organization," approved by the church board on January 6, 2015, according to "Auxiliaries" of CCAH Bylaws. Staff or Dr. Wayne Kim for BMC is a biblical counselor as an ordained pastor -- neither a psychological counselor as a psychologist, a legal counselor as a lawyer, a medical counselor as a physician, nor a finance counselor as an accountant -- and Staff may assist Dr. Wayne Kim in the supervision of Dr. Wayne Kim. Otherwise, another biblical counselor may be referred.

Q 2. What marital problems are?

A 2. Marital conflicts (disagreements in various ways), Intimacy (Emotional or Physical/ Spousal or Another), Broken communication, Addictions, Sex, Pornography, Homosexuality, Test tube insemination, Abortion, Affairs, Unhappiness, No Joyfulness, Abuse (Spousal or Child/ Physical or Emotional), Money, Depression, Anger, Stress, Anxiety, No Strength, No Faith (God-Confidence), Different Faith, Self-Esteem(Self-Confidence/Pride), No humbleness (Self-Denial)... etc.

Q 3. Who can get a counsel?

A 3. Any married couple can get a BMC. And any engaged or dated couple can get a pre-BMC.

Q 4. When would I/we get a BMC?

A 4. Whenever you as a married one/couple have an unresolved marital problem, you would seek a BMC earlier than later before your marriage relationship would be worse.

Q 5. When would I/we get a pre-BMC?

A 5. When you as an engaged or dated one/couple are preparing for a wedding, you would get a pre-BMC (often 6 weeks earlier than the wedding date) because a pre-BMC would reduce a risk of martial potential problems and further the joyful marital life in the relationship with the Lord.

Q 6. What is a procedure of BMC?

A 6. (1) Make an appointment. (2) Disclose a marital problem to be helped confidentially. (3) You are helped to seek applicable/practical words of God from the Bible, the counsel of God rather than human counsel, by Dr. Wayne or Staff. (4) You may be given the applicable/practical words of God (Written BMC), prepared by Dr. Wayne or Staff often for one hour, by mail or email at your choice, within reasonable days (usually 7 days). (5) Act your chosen applicable/practicable words at your decision. (6) Examine/evaluate either by yourself or by Dr. Wayne (Staff) at your choice. (7) You might find you apply the words to your personal life in the relationship with the Lord.

Q 7. What are a reasonable fee, free, and donation?

A 7. The fee for the marital counseling is reasonably determined from $125 to $150 per hour in the community within 30 miles of Anaheim Hills in 2015 the year. Generally the fee of BMC may be in minimal $125 per hour unless the nature of a case is extraordinarily difficult. But the fee is free since the Lord gave freely His life for us. A donation (a thanksgiving offering for a BMC or pre-BMC) to CCAH for God is exhorted, which is tax deductible, since our Lord is favored to a Donation method rather than to a Commercial Business method in His church because our God is pleased to see our heart to love the just God in a love fellowship or union rather than a legal relationship under a bound agreement of the business. But the donation must be rooted from free will or cheerful heart, not be forced, flattered, or grudged (Luke 11:42 & Isaiah 55:1) (Wire Routing Transit Number 122000247; Online Account Number 6314138782; International SWIFT BIC WFBIUS6S). CCAH is indigent but is rich toward God (Luke 12:21) because every quarter donation has been spent for nearly equally between local members (modalities) and those reaching outside the church (sodalities).

Q 8. What are any other services?

A 8. Dr. Wayne or Staff may be able to serve (1) not only in English but in Korean or in Spanish, (2) as an officiating pastor for a wedding, and (3) the wedding place (60' x 30' size, banquet seating for up to 120 guests) to arrange reasonably the city community center
