Our Staff

All of our staff are volunteers, which is the primary reason we are able to keep costs so low for the level of education that we provide.

Rev. Warren Lamb

Our Director/Lead Professor Warren Lamb, PhD, ThM, CABC
           Pastor, Bible Teacher, Biblical Counselor, and Theology Professor

Pastor Lamb has been involved in pastoral ministry for over thirty years. He is a “recovered psychologist,” having been a clinical psychologist trained at the University of Washington, before coming to Christ at the age of thirty-one.

Since that time, he has gained extensive experience in Christian ministry, including teaching, conference speaking, Biblical counseling, and training Biblical counselors. Trauma and Abuse are significant areas of his counseling focus. His book, Behind the Veil: Exposing the Evil of Domestic Oppression and Providing Hope, provides help and guidance for the church in identifying and addressing this rising problem in the church.

Experienced in counseling a broad spectrum of troubles, he specializes with those who have suffered significant trauma from childhood abuse and neglect, domestic oppression and abuse, sex-trafficking, kidnapping, sole-survivors of catastrophes, traumatic loss survivors, first-responders, combat trauma survivors, and the like. 

He also works extensively with the sexually broken, including those struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction. He provides specialized training for churches, including shepherding churches through the aftermath of a leader’s moral failure.

He has pastored and been part of the pastoral team for several churches and speaks at various conferences throughout the country on a variety of subjects.

After completing the Nazarene Bible College Directed Ministries Study Program, he pursued post-graduate studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Westminster Theological Seminary, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Reformed Theology Seminary (Jacksonville), receiving a Master of Theology (Biblical Studies), Master of Theology (Hermeneutics), and a Master of Arts (Biblical Counseling).

His passion? "Discipleship: helping people understand the nature and character of God so that they can fully live as Christ intended for them to live."

A frequent keynote and workshop presenter at conferences, Warren serves as director of the IABC Training Center Truth in Love Biblical Counseling & Training Center (formerly Vancouver Bible Institute in Vancouver, WA). As of August of 2019, he has also been serving as the Vice President of IABC

He and his wife Connie relocated to Orange County, CA, in 2017, so he now personally ministers in both Washington and in California. He is also spearheading the development of a new Certified Biblical Counseling Training Center in Southern California for IABC. He brings with him many years of practical experience specific to the realm of Biblical counseling.
