Washington Adventist University Offers Biblical Counseling Course in July
Takoma Park, MD (February 12, 2015) Washington Adventist University’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies is offering a two-day course in Biblical Counseling for church pastors, counselors and anyone who provides professional or spiritual advice to others. The course will be taught on campus from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 12 and Sunday, July 26 by a Christian counselor who has extensive professional experience.
The one-credit course is open to both ordained and non-ordained church leaders and counselors, as well as to nurses and other medical professionals who are sometimes called upon by people of faith for emotional support.
The course will provide a simple, yet in-depth Biblical approach to helping others overcome complex personal challenges. It will offer practical strategies that can be used immediately, and will also provide a firm foundation for those wishing to study Biblical counseling issues more extensively. The cost for the course is $595 for graduate students and $445 for undergraduate students.
