Marriage and Family Counseling - Working at the Heart of Christianity
Jesus said the greatest commandment is to “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Mark 12:30-31).
At heart, Christianity is a right relationship with God and with people. That means that
Marriage and Family Counselors work at the heart of Christianity.
There is no more significant place to work than in relationships. Therefore, we emphasize a biblically sound and integrated approach to marriage and family counseling.
What students say:
“I really appreciate the way that [the professor] integrates his Christian faith into his clinical work.”
“It has helped me understand the complexity of people and families in a greater way. It also helps me understand myself more.”
“It has challenged my perspective/practice of counseling. It has challenged me to think through how I relate to God/others.”
“Extremely practical – foundational for future ministry in this field.”
“I am personally and professionally challenged. I am also hopeful and excited about the possibilities for me personally, my family, and my church.”
As you work with others you need to have them ask:
“How can I use what I’ve got?” rather than
“How can I be what I’m not?”
That’s the basis of a strengths-based approach to counseling, which is a part of our program.
