The Association of Christian Therapists
Online Membership Application

The Association of Christian Therapists is a not-for-profit, multidisciplinary, international association of Christian healthcare professionals, in the physical, mental and spiritual healthcare disciplines, including those in allied health disciplines, clergy and pastoral care givers. ACT also welcomes as members lay persons committed to the healing ministry of Jesus.

Members are grouped into Specialties within the Association: Physicians and Dentists (including chiropractors), Nurses, Allied Health (including physician’s assistants, physical therapists, medical technicians, body work practitioners, nutritionists, etc), Psychotherapists (including psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists), Clergy and Religious, Pastoral Care (including spiritual directors), Educators, Associates (lay persons committed to the healing ministry of Jesus) and Healthcare Institutions/Centers. Specialty Groups enhance mutual exchange within and across disciplines and the integration of clinical practice with Christian principles and spiritual gifts.

Identity Statement

The Association of Christian Therapists: Serving healthcare professionals for healing of body, mind and spirit to God’s glory.

Vision: An international Spirit-led Christian community of healthcare professionals, clergy, and associates equipped to extend the healing presence, heart, and mind of Jesus Christ to their colleagues, patients, clients, and institutions.

Mission: To support ACT members with resources to achieve this vision, including healing prayer, mentoring, education and training, fostering their spiritual and professional growth.

The vision and mission of ACT are grounded in the following prophetic word spoken at the founders meeting in 1975. "Redeem MY people, in your hospitals, in your clinics, in your offices. Make them MY hospitals, MY clinics, MY offices. Let ME care for them and bring them health beyond healing. Let ME care for YOU, and bring YOU to health, to wholeness, to holiness. Give ME your professional skills, your credentials; yield them to MY authorization; consecrate them to MY name, for MY glory, and I will be glorified in your healing work."
ACT is eucharistically centered and biblically rooted, having been founded in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Catholic and Protestant traditions.
