Biblical Counseling & Discipleship Courses
(If you are looking for a Biblical Counselor, go here)
At its core, Biblical counseling is focused discipleship, a walking-alongside-ministry where one believer provides guidance and support to another through troubles, difficult times, sin, tragedy, and brokenness.
Some of those troubling and difficult times are outside the experience of many of us, while some have walked through similar times and not been provided the tools to help us be effective in helping another. Our courses are crafted to overcome those limitations.
Biblical Counseling is NOT "Christianized Psychology." In fact, the two are worlds apart, both foundationally and in practice. Biblical counselors believe in the full and complete sufficiency of Scripture to address "all matters of life and faith" (2 Peter 1:3)

Biblical counselors take Colossians 1:28 seriously, presenting Christ without shame, lovingly confronting sin, and teaching Biblical principles in order to produce maturity in the life of the counselee.
There is an ever-increasing need for trained, equipped, and qualified Biblical counselors within the church as more and more people discover that secular theories and modalities just do not provide real and long-lasting help.
Our Biblical counseling courses provide not only a solid Biblical foundation for developing those gifted in counseling others, they also provide highly specialized training to help counselors and leaders within the church address the deepest needs of troubled people, both within the local church and the community at large.

There are four levels of training: the Diploma Program, the Commissioned Encourager Track, the Certification Track, and the Level III Specialization Track. This last is specialized training and commissioning for those who are certified biblical counselors.
The diploma, commissioning, and certification tracks have up to ten individual Biblical Counseling classroom modules that may be taken as individual courses (a la carte) for Personal Enrichment, or as a complete unit for the three tracks.
This program provides more than ample preparation for students to apply for certification with the International Association of Biblical Counselors.
