Jessie Said:

I would like to complete an associate degree in christian counseling, do you know any schools that offer this?

We Answered:

That kind of degree is hard to find.

You can probably get an associates in psychology (which a lot of community colleges offer) and then go to a Christian school for a Bachelors degree in Christian Counseling.

A school that offers such a program is Mid America Christian University.

The other person that answered this question made a mistake saying that you need a masters degree in order to practice counseling. Her answer is correct for the secular level however in a Church/Church-related scenario no masters degree is required. I hope this help

Janice Said:

Has any one got a degree in Christian counseling?

We Answered:

I don't think this a good field to based your future career on. You may check your characteristic. Not everyone is called to preach others. I'd think two times were I you. The ability of giving good counseling comes from God only. Not from a degree in whatever field.

Andre Said:

do anyone have a degree pastoral counseling? What type of education is needed for this field/ how many years?

We Answered:

Pastoral counseling is a branch of counseling in which ordained ministers, rabbis, priests and others provide therapy services.

Only 6 states license the title "Pastoral Counselor": Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Tennessee. In many other states Pastoral Counselors may qualify for licensure as Marriage and Family Therapists or as Professional Counselors.

Pastoral counseling is essentially a non-licensure track in the US. Insurance companies often will not pay for pastoral counseling of counselors without state licensing.
