Restoration. Order. Calling. Kinship.

Become a Trained and Certified

Integrated Biblical Counselor

Biblically Based. Clinically Informed. Whole-Person Oriented

We hold the conviction that members of the Body of Christ are uniquely positioned for the ministry of counseling, and we are dedicated to providing the necessary tools for this important calling. In our view, the divine call to counsel serves as the bedrock upon which all successful training is established. While acknowledging the value of licenses, credentials, and degrees, we maintain that a counselor whose foundation rests firmly in God’s calling possesses an unparalleled capacity for helping and guiding those in need.

The inherent limitations of secular mental healthcare in fully addressing humanity’s deepest needs highlight the critical role of counselors who are spiritually grounded. It is our strong belief that those called by God are best suited to provide such counsel. Moreover, we recognize that individuals, including those within the Christian community, may encounter intricate challenges encompassing mental, emotional, and relational well-being. Our aim is to equip Christians who have received this calling to effectively navigate these complexities.

For an extended period, the prevailing sentiment has been that counseling should be exclusively the domain of “professionals.” We respectfully disagree with the misleading “mental health” perspectives that have frequently overlooked the spiritual dimension of the individual, created in God’s image and likeness. Our comprehensive model of wellness is designed to support individuals in every facet of their existence: spiritually, relationally, emotionally, personally, mentally, physically, and eternally – a reflection of what we understand to be God’s Hierarchy of Needs.

We firmly reject the idea that Christians are incapable of acquiring therapeutic skills or clinical understanding. Indeed, we are confident that those who are divinely called possess the potential to be the most impactful counselors. Our training program is founded on the principle that the most effective counselors are those who are biblically grounded, clinically informed, and focused on the whole person.

Our R.O.C.K counseling curriculum is meticulously and thoughtfully structured to equip those called to counsel through four essential pillars: Restoration, Order, Calling, and Kinship. These four fundamental areas, rooted in the Word of God, constitute the core of our comprehensive training.

Should you sense a calling to this significant ministry of counseling, we encourage you to explore how our training course can empower you to serve with competence and compassion.

CURRICULUM PILLARS

RESTORATION

We equip you with the biblical truths and the art and science of regeneration, healing, and re-building people back from being lost and broken and from experiencing trauma, tragedies, and the like.

ORDER

We thoroughly take you through God’s design for creation, work, people, marriage, and family and the ways in which they are meant to interact and supplement one another.

CALLING

We teach you how to identify calling, purpose, and meaning within people’s lives and to understand the unique ways they have been made with their own set of strengths, weaknesses, and experiences that lead them by God’s sovereign hand to fulfill their role in His larger story.

KINSHIP

People have been hard-wired for connection by God. Here we get further into the purpose of relationships and specifically train you on how to help, heal, and reconcile relationships. We are meant to know and be known, so in this section of the curriculum we also equip counselors to know how to help people establish healthy dynamics, learn good communication skills, and maintain deep, fulfilling, and intimate relationships.
