The desperate need for Christian counseling and life coaching training in the church.  In a society where nearly one-half of marriages end in divorce, at least one-fourth of the women have been sexually or physically abused, at least one-fourth of the members of our society are codependent, and one out of ten are chemically dependent almost everyone knows someone who is in desperate need of help.  Unfortunately, these statistics apply in the church as well as in society.  Consequently, every Christian needs at least a basic knowledge of how to effectively help these hurting people, and every church needs at least a pastor who is also qualified to counsel, a certified or degreed counselor to assist him with longterm difficult cases, and a Bible-based life coach to help members of the congregation find and fulfill their callings.

 Levels of Christian Counseling Training.  There are four levels of Christian counseling training:

A.   Basic counseling training is appropriate for every Christian.  It is provided free on this website on the links 2-6 on the left of this page.

B.   Certification provides a higher level of training and practical Christian counseling experience for pastors, lay counselors, and life coaches who feel called to these ministries.  For more information select the Certifications link on the left side of this page.

C.   Christian counseling bachelors and masters degrees are for those called to a part or fulltime paid counseling ministry in the church.  A state license is not required to do Christian counseling as an ordained or licensed minister or as part of an official program of a church.  A degree is required in most cases to obtain counseling liability insurance, a necessity to cover yourself if counseling fees are charged.  For more information select the College Degree link on the left side of this page.

D.   A State Licensed Counselor must obtain secular training as required by the state so that they can accept third party health insurance payments for their services rendered to clients.  Of course, additional Christian counseling training should also be obtained in order to effectively counsel in a church environment.

 Methods of Training:  There are three basic methods of obtaining training in Christian counseling:
