This degree will allow the Minister, the Christian School Worker, Church Staff or Lay Person the opportunity to practice effective ministry. To become a Commissioned Christian Counselor, It may be requested by the Christian Counseling student. The identical requirements for MC405 at minimum must be completed by said student. Note: being a commissioned Christian Counselor is to be set aside as clergy, dedicated to the Christian Counseling ministry. Therefore, our Commissioned Christian Counselors may display a clergy sticker on their vehicle and park in the clergy only parking during their hospital or nursing home visitations.
