A combined N.C.C.A. License in Pastoral and Clinical Pastoral Counseling and a Bachelor, Master, or Ph.D. degree in Christian Counseling. Continue below to choose the degree program that fits your education level.
All programs are offered through distance learning and teach a biblical counseling model called Creation Therapy. This model includes the most in-depth Christian temperament analysis available, the Arno Profile System (APS), that instantly gives the Counselor an in-depth look at the client’s unique, inborn strengths, weaknesses, and needs. It then provides a step-by-step model for counseling. You will learn proven strategies, both practical and spiritual, for leading your clients into wholeness, a more profound connection with God and others, and greater fruitfulness in their walk with Christ.
This program is based on a deep understanding that we are created in the image of God, recreated in Christ, and now a new creation in Christ Jesus. Christ in you is the convergence of His presence and His identity in you, from which a destiny of fruitfulness comes as sons and daughters of the Most High God!
Core Identity (In Christ) + Unique Identity (Temperament) + God lead strategies = Over 90% successful counseling model!
