Masters Degree in Christian Counseling

Put the voice of God at the center of your counseling and become a vessel of His divine healing power

The Counseling Curriculum at CLU has been absolutely priceless... Instead of getting caught in endless talks about ‘the problem’ you learn to minister to people on a heart-to-heart level and not a head-to-head level.

re you satisfied with a Christian Counseling Masters Degree program that merely has “a Christian perspective," or does your heart hunger for the ability to minister God's transformational power, and to enable the broken and suffering to hear His voice speak life-giving words of comfort directly to their heart?

Are you looking for a radically different Christian Counseling Masters Degree program? A program with an approach that gets the rational mind out of the way and invites the Wonderful Counselor to come and replace those painful thoughts, pictures and memories with His positive ones?

If so, then a Masters Degree in Christian Counseling from Christian Leadership University is exactly what you've been searching for.

A Masters Degree in Christian Counseling that's worth far more than the paper it's printed on

We believe that experiential knowledge is infinitely more valuable than detached book learning. All the head knowledge in the world will do you little good if you can't make it work in the real world. That's why every step of the way you will be applying what you learn. Each of our Christian Counseling courses are refreshingly practical, and will guide you step-by-step through the processes and techniques that are used.

Why is this so different from every other online Christian Counseling Masters Degree program?

You cannot begin to measure the effect of having God show up and minister His healing power directly to a broken heart. It goes so far beyond the mere Christian principles of counseling that you can attempt to apply by your own strength. The voice of the Lord Jesus Christ and His life-changing power are absolutely essential for the complete and lasting restoration of a deeply wounded heart.

These Christian Counseling courses on-line are designed to get to the root of the problem, and to effectively facilitate Jesus Himself coming and doing all the "heavy lifting." He alone can eliminate not just the emotional pain itself, but the underlying heart issues that cause each of these inner struggles. God knows the exact origin of every negative thought, attitude and picture that a heart holds, and He wants more than anything to personally touch and heal these areas.

What others are saying about their Christian Counseling Degree from CLU

I just completed my Doctorate of Christian Counseling through Christian Leadership University. I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this experience was for me in terms of healing, personal growth, and growing as close to God as I have ever been.

I’ve learned to discern the voice of God through dialoguing and dreams. To think, all of these years He may have been trying to speak to me and I didn’t know how to listen to Him. Hearing God and allowing Him to be the Wonderful Counselor He truly is has totally changed my life. Thank you to the Virklers and to Christian Leadership University for your amazing ministry. May God richly bless you.
