Most programs ask you to choose between faith and psychology, conviction and compassion, theology and practice. This program refuses that false choice.
At QCT, Christian faith isn’t an add-on or elective. It’s the foundation that shapes how you think, how you counsel, and how you serve. In this program, you will read and absorb counseling techniques while being formed spiritually, so your work flows from both competence and character.
This program is designed for those who feel called to serve people at their deepest places, in their mind, soul, and story.
- You’ll learn to navigate complex moral questions with biblical wisdom, theological depth, and professional integrity.
- Your dissertation isn’t busywork; it’s an opportunity to contribute meaningful scholarship to the field.
- This program will prepare you to write, serve as a church/biblical counselor, and lead with confidence and credibility
Many counseling and psychology programs teach excellent counseling skills, but leave faith at the door.
Others focus deeply on theology, but stop short of preparing you for real-world church counseling.
This program was created for those who refuse to separate what God has joined together. At QCT, psychology and theology are not competing voices, they’re conversation partners. Scripture shapes your ethical framework. Research informs your counseling decisions. Mentorship forms your character as much as your skill set.
