B.A. IN BIBLICAL COUNSELING
Where Gospel Truth Meets Real-Life Help
You care about people. You see the brokenness in our world—and you want to walk with others through it with truth, hope, and grace. The Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Counseling is designed for students who feel called to speak into life’s hardest moments with the power of God’s Word and the heart of a disciple-maker.
At Montana Bible College, we believe biblical counseling is more than a profession—it’s a ministry of Christ-centered care. That’s why this stand-alone degree equips you with more than just techniques. You’ll dive deep into Scripture, theology, and human nature, learning how to help people wrestle with guilt, shame, anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, and more—through the lens of the gospel.
Whether you're leading a discipleship group, serving in church ministry, preparing for seminary, or counseling in your local community, this degree offers a path that is biblically grounded, spiritually rich, and practically tested.
