Faith Bible College — 4th Year
Church Bible Program
Christian Counselling
A comprehensive five-book capstone year integrating Christian counselling, homiletics, prayer, and creative ministry — developing the complete, well-rounded minister of the gospel.
About This Programme
The 4th Year Church Bible Program in Christian Counselling is the culminating year of the Church Ministry degree track. Across five books, students build comprehensive competencies that go beyond church administration and theology — developing the ability to counsel hurting people, preach with power, intercede with depth, and lead creative, life-giving church ministry.
This year is designed to produce ministers who are not only theologically grounded but pastorally equipped — men and women who can walk with people through life’s most difficult seasons while continuing to build and lead a flourishing local church community.
