The SFACC was started in 2005 by faculty in the graduate Counseling Psychology program at Palm Beach Atlantic University who had a desire to help Christian counselors within South Florida meet each other and form an organization that would encourage Christian counselors to integrate their faith with their counseling practices.

The faculty also wanted to provide a vehicle for helping pastors become aware of Christian counselors with expertise in various types of counseling issues. Without a means of finding Christian counselors with various specialties, pastors often had no way of identifying Christian counselors with expertise in the areas their parishioners needed counseling.

In 2008, the SFACC launched SouthFloridaMarriage.net which has become a catalyst for preparing, enriching and restoring marriage relationships throughout South Florida . With the signing of the Palm Beach County Healthy Marriage Initiative (April 2008), the SFACC has now embarked on a mission to raise up 100 Marriage Champion churches & 1000 Marriage Mentoring couples across South Florida. Working side by side with the local area churches and our network of therapists, we are creating a new day for marriage in South Florida . (www.SouthFloridaMarriage.Net ).
