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 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. Apply HERE
