DIPLOMA IN discipleship & Soul-care
(FAQ at bottom of page)

The Diploma in Discipleship & Soul-care follows the same educational path as the commissioning and certification tracks, but does not include exams, interviews, or supervised counseling. ​The Biblical Counseling & Discipleship Program at Truth in Love Biblical Counseling & Training Center offers courses that many other programs do not yet offer.

​
Our Diploma in Discipleship & Soul-care is divided into two levels:
  • Level I provides education and training in the foundational aspects of biblical counseling and discipleship, and provides a solid base for ministering to the soul-care needs of the troubled and the broken.
  • Level II provides more in-depth education and training in areas of counseling,  pastoral ministry, and discipleship that are often "out-sourced" to others who are not committed to the sufficiency of Scripture and who integrate either secular psychology or hyper-spiritualism into their counseling approach.
Courses are offered in two formats:
  • Live-streaming, or 
  • Online Self-directed
​For an outline and description of the courses offered in both levels, see the Courses Offered page. The list of textbooks for each module can be accessed on the Student Resources page.

While all courses are offered "a la carte" and may be taken separately, for those seeking certification as a Biblical Counselor or Commissioning as an Encourager in Discipleship & Soul-Care,
applying for that specific track and completing a special registration form are required.

We hold that every believer is called to pour into the lives of others (Galatians 6:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 5:14).

Some have been tasked by God to do this is in ways that go deeper than every-day discipleship and the usual one-anothering of the local church fellowship. Sometimes, some of that "deeper" can benefit from a more formal approach.

It is exactly here that being equipped in biblical counseling and discipleship brings enormous benefits to the relationship.


Also, for those who desire to be better equipped to counsel and disciple the deeply troubled and to do so more effectively using properly interpreted Scripture as the primary tool, our programs are designed and available to accomplish just that. We invite you to look over our Commissioned Encourager in Discipleship & Soul-care Program and our Certified Biblical Counselor Program and see if either of those would be a better fit for you.

​You do not need a degree;  you don't need to be professional clergy; and you don't need any previous counseling experience. You simply need a solid relationship with Jesus Christ and the very sure belief that God's Word if fully authoritative and sufficient for all matters regarding life and faith (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4).
