CHRISTIAN COUNSELING PROGRAM

As our world become more complex, more and new challenges face individuals and families, from financial to emotional.
The Word of God tells us in Proverbs 11:14, Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
This world needs Apostolic, Holy Ghost filled counselors to lead individuals, families and communities to wholeness.  
 
The Associates of Arts in Christian Ministry, Concentration: Christian Counseling (AACM-CC) program integrates the most current trends in counseling theory with study of Christian faith and practice, thereby enabling students to integrate the principles of biblically based spirituality with counseling practice for leadership within the church.
 
The AACM-CC program will allow students to obtain the foundational knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the baccalaureate Christian Counseling program.
