Biblical Counseling Certification Program
Biblical Counseling Certification Program
Biblical counseling is more than offering good advice. It is learning how to come alongside people with biblical truth, practical wisdom, spiritual discernment, and the ability to help them move toward healing, freedom, and transformation.
The Biblical Counseling Certification Program with Lisa Schwarz is a comprehensive online training program designed to equip believers with a biblical and practical foundation for counseling and ministry.
Drawing from Lisa's experience as a counselor, teacher, and ministry leader, this five-course program combines biblical teaching with practical application. Students will engage with classroom teaching, assigned reading, written responses, observational training, and real-world counseling principles designed to move learning beyond information and into application.
