The Introduction to Biblical Counseling course offers a foundational understanding of counseling within a Christian framework. It introduces students to the purpose, principles, and practices of biblical counseling, focusing on the central role of God’s Word in addressing life’s struggles. By the end of the course, students will develop a biblical framework for counseling and learn to apply scriptural principles to real-life scenarios.

Students will engage in bi-weekly on-campus or weekly zoom sessions, which facilitate interactive discussions and hands-on exercises.
