"The knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness"
BIBLICAL Counselling
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, because, with others in the world of Biblical Counselling, we share a common concern 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.
A one-year (fulltime) Certificate in Biblical Counselling and a two-year (fulltime) Advanced Certificate in Biblical Counselling are now available through full or part-time study.
Information can also be found on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/biblicalcounseling.nz
