Most counseling programs focus on methods. Some focus on theory. Very few focus on mission. This program does.
At Queens College of Theology, we believe counseling is not just a profession—it’s a calling. That’s why this program is built to train men and women who don’t just want to help people feel better, but want to help people heal deeply, biblically, and sustainably.
- Scripture remains central
- Faith is not an add-on, it’s the foundation
- Ideal for pastors, ministry leaders, church care teams, and nonprofit workers
You’ll be equipped with practical counseling tools, but you’ll also be grounded in truth—so when people bring their pain, confusion, and brokenness, you’re not guessing what to say. You’re leading with clarity, compassion, and conviction.
This program is intentionally designed for church and ministry settings. While it does not prepare students for state licensure or clinical psychology roles, it does prepare you to be an effective, ethical, and trusted biblical counselor within your church, ministry, or nonprofit context.

- Biblical Hermeneutics
- Introduction to Christian Counseling
- Biblical Counseling Foundations
- Law and Ethics in Christian Counseling
