Founder
W.P. “Ab” Abercrombie, Ph.D. has been in ministry as a Biblical Counselor for the past 31 years. After his education in the social sciences, Dr. Abercrombie soon recognized the incompatibility of humanistic psychology and Scripture. Rejecting the secular methods of psychotherapy, he devoted himself to the sufficiency of God’s Word and the working of the Holy Spirit as the key elements of transformational change.
As the Founder of the Biblical Counseling Institute, Dr. Abercrombie speaks and teaches throughout the U.S. training pastors, lay leaders, and counseling professionals in the method and practice of biblical care. He holds a M.S.W. degree in Clinical Social Work and a Ph.D. in Human Services with a major in Psychology. He is licensed to practice in both Alabama and Florida as a professional counselor and family therapist, and (take out he) is an Ordained and Licensed Southern Baptist Minister.
Dr. Abercrombie has published numerous articles on Christian and family life and is co-author of two books: Wonderful Counselor: A Return To Truth and CHRISTIAN SHRINKS Answer ALL Your Questions…(No Couch Required). He travels and teaches throughout the U.S. on the topics of Biblical Counseling and Discipleship. He resides with his wife of 22 years, Karen, in Fairhope, AL. In addition to his work with BCI, Dr. Abercrombie provides consultation to various churches and evangelical ministries and currently serves as the Associate Pastor of Biblical Counseling at Rocky Bayou Baptist Church in Niceville, FL.
