On-Campus Education

At the heart of Restoring Hope School of Biblical Counseling is a commitment to equip individuals to serve Christ through a deep understanding of Scripture, critical thinking, and compassionate counseling. Our programs are designed to transform lives by allowing God’s
Word to penetrate the heart and guide our every interaction.

Our in-person courses, beginning full-time in Fall 2027, offer a profound and prayerful exploration of Scriptural truth. Pilot courses will be offered on a smaller scale prior to this launch. The in-person experience allows students to delve into Scriptural analysis for heart transformation—an education that integrates theology with practical counseling rooted in Christ’s teachings.
“The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” — Psalm 119:130

 

Our Philosophy

Our school focuses on helping students understand Scripture through Scripture, rather than through man-made doctrines or biases. By fostering critical thinking skills rooted in biblical truth, we aim to counteract the lack of depth seen in modern education.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.” — James 1:5

Our Dean of Education, holding advanced degrees in both theology and psychology, provides a rich blend of biblical insight and practical application, ensuring that our students are equipped with the tools needed to minister with wisdom and integrity. The ministry also emphasizes
understanding historical Christian figures and their contributions to faith and science, demonstrating how their work aligns with God’s creation and design.
