When a friend is weighed down by suffering or struggling with sin, how can we help? Westminster’s Master of Arts in Counseling will prepare you for one-another ministry with in-depth training from Westminster and CCEF faculty. You’ll grow to know Scripture, know people, and know how to wisely bring the two together. Learn more about the program and apply today at wts.edu/mac.
