The purpose of our counselling programme is to consider carefully how we step into troubled lives with Godly wisdom and gentleness. We have called this Biblical Counselling, not because it is a trademark that needs defending or protecting, but rather to signal an openness on our part to listen to other voices in the world of Christian counselling that share a common concern with us to be biblical, grace filled, and Christ-centred in our care for others.

 

We work in partnership with New Zealand Biblical Counsellors Association (NZBCA). NZBCA is an association that supports biblical counsellors in New Zealand by providing initial training to anyone interested in counselling biblically.

They encourage their members to pursue formal training in Biblical Counselling. The NZBCA offer support through supervision and resources. They also provide continuing education to sharpen skills, knowledge, and personal growth.

 

A one-year (fulltime) Certificate in Biblical Counselling and a two-year (fulltime) Advanced Certificate in Biblical Counselling are now available at Grace Theological College.
