Purpose of the MAC

In the MAC we build on a basic foundation in the disciplines of biblical studies, theology, church history, and apologetics, to provide comprehensive instruction and active involvement in the specific area of biblical counseling.


Though it is not intended to prepare students either for ordination or for licensure, it is meant to prepare men and women for ministry within the body of Christ, whether in lay vocational ministry or as supplementary to their work and life.


As you work on your MAC you will be able to:

  • Exhibit a deep love for the triune God, his word, his truth, and his church; and a Christ-like humility in relation with others.
  • Demonstrate basic knowledge in Scripture, Reformed theology, biblical theology, church history and apologetics.
  • Demonstrate a biblically-grounded, Christ-centered understanding of people, problems, and change.
  • Demonstrate skill in the practice of biblical counseling.
