Grace Church, Green Bay

Biblical Counseling Certificate

Biblical Counseling Diploma

"Before RHM, I was doing my best to shepherd hurting people in my small group — but I often felt out of my depth. The Diploma program didn't just give me information; it formed me.

Advanced Counseling Interventions

"As an elder, I'd been walking alongside people in crisis for years — and I was doing a lot of it by instinct and prayer alone.

Women's Ministry Coordinator

Northside Community Church

Biblical Ethics for Counselors

"I took the Biblical Ethics course because it was required — I didn't expect it to be the most impactful course I'd ever sat through. Dr. Gross doesn't just teach rules; he helps you understand why ethics in ministry care matters so deeply. I came to understand how much harm a well-meaning counselor …"

Ministry Volunteer & Recovery Group Leader

First Baptist, Appleton

Biblical Counseling Practicum

"The Practicum was where everything clicked for me. I'd taken the coursework and felt confident in my knowledge — but supervised practice is a completely different thing. Having Dr. Gross review my sessions, ask hard questions about my approach, and push back with grace when I got it wrong — that was…"

Pastor's Wife & Deaconess

Grace Point Church

Biblical Counseling Certificate

"I came in uncertain about whether I was "qualified" to take a program like this. I had no degree, no clinical background — just years of informal care conversations with women in our church. RHM welcomed me completely. The Certificate program met me where I was and stretched me far beyond where I st…"

Youth Pastor

New Life Church, De Pere

Biblical Counseling Diploma

"Working with teenagers means walking into some of the most complex emotional landscapes there are — anxiety, identity confusion, family trauma, addiction, self-harm. I enrolled at RHM because I knew I was under-equipped. The Diploma program gave me both the theological grounding and the practical wi…"

Hospital Chaplain Volunteer

Covenant Presbyterian

Biblical Counseling Certificate

"As a hospital chaplain volunteer, I sit with people in the most desperate moments of their lives — grief, diagnosis, death. The Certificate program gave me a theology of suffering that holds in those rooms. It didn't give me easy answers. It gave me the courage to stay present without trying to reso…"

Psalm 34:18

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

"I came in thinking I needed tools. I left with a whole different understanding of what it means to be a servant of Christ in someone's suffering."
