What will I learn?

The Master of Arts in Christian Counseling is a non-licensure, 36-hour graduate program designed to provide Christ-centered education to prepare servant leaders for the practical ministry of Christian counseling. The program provides both a theological and counseling foundation enabling the student to incorporate biblical principles into a counseling ministry. The program is designed for graduates who plan to counsel in the local church, denominational agencies, and ministry-based organizations. Graduates use their skills in shepherding and servant leadership to serve as age-group ministers, pastors, and leaders in non-profit or para-church organizations. They are also well equipped to pursue roles in recreation ministry, men's and women's ministry, missions, or in denominational organizations.
