What Makes our MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Different?

The program is delivered in a blended format, combining the convenience of online learning, without sacrificing important face-to-face interactions gained from classroom instruction. Classes are typically held in the evenings and on Saturdays. For each class you take, you can expect to come to campus about once a month while earning your degree from an accredited Bible college. Our counseling program is founded on TRUST:

• Training highly skilled professional counselors to who pastors will confidently refer their members for mental health counseling.
• Reaching out to serve the under-resourced with special emphasis on counseling the military community, minority communities, and communities of faith.
• Unifying the church and society by preparing counselors to provide treatment and advocacy across doctrinal, denominational, racial, ethnic, and gender lines.
• Striving to be made all things to all people while remaining under Christ’s law.
• Transforming the field of counseling by translating our faith into our professional practice through intellectually credible innovation and research.
