Learn How to Counsel Others From a Biblical Perspective
You’ll receive a thorough, biblically grounded introduction to pastoral counseling—from the convenience of your home or whichever remote location works best for you—when you earn your Graduate Certificate in Christian Counseling from Moody Online. Designed for university or Bible college graduates, the certificate will prepare you to interact with and counsel others who are struggling 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.
Thanks to our online learning format, you and classmates from across the US and the world will learn from our expert team of faculty. Our professors 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.
