MA Biblical Counseling

Our program is designed to equip you as a Word-filled, Spirit empowered disciple of Jesus Christ who is competent and compassionate in evangelism and assisting fellow believers in their progressive sanctification. You will learn how to engage in Christ-centered, Scripture-driven counseling in partnership with local church ministries. The classes give you a broad look at counseling and psychology from a thoroughly biblical perspective. You will learn to evaluate secular and Christian psychological theories biblically and objectively. You will gain a clear understanding of the sufficiency-of-Scripture model of biblical counseling. You will study important counseling topics such as depression, anxiety, trauma, finances, marriage and children, addictions, and grief from a biblical perspective. Most importantly, you will learn how to offer hope through the eternal truths found in the Bible to those who are perplexed, lost, and hurting. 

Biblical counselors know that living in a fallen world as fallen human beings introduces great suffering and challenge. Biblical counselors also recognize that some problems can be very complex, that they can, in fact, be caused by a genuine physical component and not by personal sin. Where a physical component is suspected, biblical counselors wisely invite competent medical professionals to diagnose and treat genuine organic etiology (for example, brain trauma, endocrine malfunction, tumor, disease, and infection).
