Overview

Throughout the Pastoral Counseling - Leadership MA programme from the Liberty University you will receive training in solution-based models so you can apply various behavioral approaches and appropriate biblical teaching in your work. You will also examine the best ways to promote spiritual growth during crises as well as in premarital and marriage circumstances.

By specializing your degree in leadership, you will study the biblical principles of leadership as depicted in the life of Christ and learn how to apply them within a contemporary ministry setting. You will also learn from the lives of influential people who served as religious, political, military, and business leaders.

Part of leading is knowing how to work with people from different social, cultural, economic, and experience backgrounds. Throughout this degree, you will learn how to cultivate strong, decision-making teams within your ministry. You will also study how to resolve conflict within your organization. Casting a clear, achievable vision is also crucial to effective leadership, so you will learn how to create and share a mission statement that guides you and your ministry in your pursuit of God’s will.
