Learn How to Counsel Others From a Biblical Perspective
You’ll receive a thorough, biblically grounded introduction to pastoral counseling when you earn your Graduate Certificate in Christian Counseling from Moody. Designed for university or Bible college graduates, the certificate will prepare you to interact with and counsel others who are dealing with a wide range of challenging issues. The class content focuses heavily on biblical spiritual formation, teaching proven methods for benefiting the mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being of those you will serve in ministry.
Be prepared to learn in a vibrant, in-person classroom environment from our expert team of faculty, who bring decades of experience in pastoral and counseling roles serving in private practices, churches, and ministries. Please note that this certificate does not meet the requirements for a clinical counseling license.
