hybrid concept counseling class!

students watch MOST lectures at home / class meets once per month FOR GROUP VIEWING AND DISCUSSION

In the hybrid model, students watch counseling lectures and observations primarily in the comfort of their own homes, and meet in person approximately once per month (for eight months) to view a lecture or observation video and discuss pertinent counseling-related topics. This model allows more people to take the course and receive the training needed to minister to others in the light of God's truth from a reformed perspective.

Please note that internet access and a computer or tablet are required to take this course. A phone will also work but is not recommended due to screen size. Tuition of $300 includes textbook, online learning access, and multiple resources. Students are responsible for purchasing their own copies of How People Change (Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp) and The Gospel for Disordered Lives (Jones, Kellen, Green).
