How it Works
Our programs are offered 100% online, and teach a biblical counseling model called Creation Therapy. Creation Therapy is based upon the Arno Profile System, the most in-depth and advanced faith-based psychological analysis available. The APS provides the counselor an in-depth look at each client's unique, inborn strengths, weaknesses, and needs. It then provides a step-by-step model for effective counseling.
What you Get
Our education, training, and licensing program fully equips the Biblical Counselor, Christian Counselor, or Faith-Based Counselor with the resources, tools, and credentials to operate a successful Christian Counseling practice or ministry. Students who complete their respective degree program will earn not a degree in Christian Counseling, but will also be awarded licensure as a Licensed Pastoral Counselor from the NCCA. After licensure, the NCCA offers many resources to the counselor, including ongoing mentoring and support, annual conferences for personal and professional growth, and annual continuing education.
