Introduction

Under the current changeable social circumstances, people’s hearts are becoming fragile, and more peer care and counseling services are therefore needed. So in responding to the needs of church and society at different levels, our Seminary is offering a number of Christian counseling courses in different aspects, including Pastoral Counseling, Christian Counseling, Professional Counseling etc. We hope to work with you in serving the community. For details, please refer to the overview map of our counseling courses and the detailed introduction to each course.

There are differences between the guides of Christian counseling and other counseling methods. Both have different points of view on people, sin, and salvation, which can affect the counseling process. Our programs are committed to the integration of Christian faith and counseling. In-depth integrated research is conducted with reference to the Bible, counseling, and spiritual direction. Our seminary also provides advanced academic research courses, which are the Doctor of Pastoral Care (Major in Pastoral Counseling), the Master of Theology and the Doctor of Theology (Major in Christian counseling or subsidiary in pastoral studies).
