Department Overview

The Biblical Counseling program at BTS is taught from a biblical theological framework and believes in the sufficiency of Scripture for addressing the problems of the human condition, specifically in relationship to heart issues.

We seek to develop graduates who are experts in counseling ministry, empathetic shepherds who stand on firm theological footing, and those who are committed to the shepherding ministry of the local church. Our prayer is that this program will spawn a resurgence of counseling ministries that are located in the local church.

BTS is affiliated with and is a certified training center of ACBC (Association of Certified Biblical Counselors) and is also affiliated with IABC (International Association of Biblical Counselors).
