The NCCA MissionThe National Christian Counselors Association (N.C.C.A.) is a non-profit, professional organization that trains, certifies, and licenses Christian counselors. The Association includes ministers, Christian counselors, testing specialist, medical doctors, attorneys, and educators. The N.C.C.A is the worlds largest Christian Counselor Training and Licensing Association. We are committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and believe that counseling is in vain, unless it is founded upon and directed by the Word of God. Our purpose is to help Christians who believe that God has called them into the ministry of counseling. The N.C.C.A. has been faithful to this mission for over twenty years and has assisted thousands of Christians to fulfill their call. We can help you achieve yours.

Counseling With Proven SuccessThe Arno Profile System (A.P.S.) is an easy-to-learn counseling technique that has achieved a success rate of over 90%. Thousands of lay counselors, professional counselors and pastors throughout the United States and nine foreign countries are currently using the A.P.S. It will help you identify your counselees' problems faster and more accurately. Program LevelsN.C.C.A training includes several options ranging from licensing to advanced level programs. If you want to continue your education, you can receive your next degree level (Bachelors, Masters, or Doctorate) in Christian Counseling from one of twelve Christian universities approved by the N.C.C.A. (Note that N.C.C.A.'s licensing and degree programs are approved for education assistance through most large companies, churches, and state rehabilitation departments providing such assistance.) Frequently Asked QuestionsCan I be licensed as a Christian Counselor without going back to school? Yes, you can be licensed. We can also help you qualify for you Bachelors (B.A.), Masters (M.A.), and even your Doctorate (Ph.D.) through one of N.C.C.A.'s 12 participating colleges. Can I accept remuneration for counseling? Absolutely. Do I have to be state licensed to be a counselor? No. In fact, we recommend not applying for a state license since the regulations limit your right to provide Faith-based counsel. Will I be trained to help those who are hurting? Yes. The training enables you to effectively help 92 out of every 100 who seek your counsel. Is the training Biblically sound? Definitely. The N.C.C.A. ministry is totally devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ and all training is based on the Holy Scriptures. Benefits of N.C.C.A. Training
Counselors From Many Walks Of
Life
Professional Training Because of the need for professional
training and the need for credentials and diplomas, the N.C.C.A. has developed a training
program that includes a therapeutic counseling model for Christian workers, ministers, and
professional counselors. NOTE: License NOTE: LicenseThe N.C.C.A.'s certification/licensing program is not to be confused with any state licensure. This program is provided for those who are called, by the Lord, into the "Ministry of Counseling" and want to be "Agent of the Church" rather than "Agent of the State". Members will resist the perspective that emotes the superiority of our discipline to the negation of other disciplines. It is our desire to present a holistic, cooperative approach with other counseling and mental health professionals. *= S.A.C.C. Code of Ethical
