Master of Arts in Children's Ministry/Master of Arts in Professional Counseling

The purpose of the dual Master of Arts in Children’s Ministry and Master of Arts in Professional Counseling degree program is to provide Christ-centered graduate-level education to prepare servant leaders for children’s ministry leadership by integrating a strong foundation in Christian Education and to provide counseling services in a variety of settings such as community counseling centers, drug and alcohol treatment facilities, college and university counseling centers, Christian counseling centers, private psychiatric hospitals, abuse shelters, churches, rehabilitation centers, and private practice. After completion of the Master of Arts in Professional Counseling, the graduate is eligible to apply for state LPCS licensure.

The Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling prepares graduates to become Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCS) in the State of Texas. Becoming an LPC allows graduates to render counseling services in a variety of settings such as community counseling centers, drug and alcohol treatment facilities, college and university counseling centers, Christian counseling centers, private psychiatric hospitals, domestic violence shelters, churches, rehabilitation centers, and private practice. The burgeoning interest in professional counseling and the growing disillusionment with a "morally neutral" approach to counseling indicates the need for a graduate program that will apply biblical presuppositions as the starting points and goals in a counseling approach. Presently, all classes leading to the MA in Professional Counseling degree are taught in the evening and on the weekend.
