Many pastors and lay persons want to learn the counseling method which was developed by Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno and want to be certified to administer the A.P.S. Response Form and generate the A.P.S. reports to the people of their church and ministry programs.
If you are a Pastor or Lay person in ministry, you may not have any interest to enter into counseling as a paid position, or obtaining a license as a Pastoral Counselor, by taking any of the Programs or Courses developed by the N.C.C.A. that lead to Certification and/or Licensing.
You may, however, want to learn the counseling method and be certified to use the A.P.S. reports when counseling those who come to you for support involving life and relationship challenges. By taking this training, many people will come to know, or strengthen, their identity and position in Christ as they walk through challenges in their lives and relationships.
Creation Therapy will familiarize you with the counseling method based on the assumption that man is a created being–uniquely created as an individual with a specific purpose. The therapy is designed to help counselees understand and fulfill God’s plan and purpose for their life.
Learning this method of counseling will allow the ability to measure a person’s “inborn” temperament, as in Psalm 139, as a unique, fearfully and wonderfully created individual by God with plan and purpose. You will be able to offer the A.P.S. Temperament Assessments and review the generated results of temperament with those you serve.
This course provides three (3) semester hours of graduate level, college credit as needed.

Created in God’s Image is intended for Christians who want to learn more about human behavior, but have no interest in learning how to counsel others.
This course is a biblically based view of human behavior and DOES NOT teach counseling techniques.
This is an invaluable course for today’s children and teens who are in public, private or homeschool education programs. It will provide them with an in-depth study into human behavior, WHY they are the way their are, and can provide them with tools to overcome areas of their life which are destroying their happiness, their relationships with others, and with the Lord.
This course can be used as home study (distance education) OR online as a course or bible study for Adults and Middle School or High School and College Students.
To enroll in Created in God’s Image as an individual or group format, email Dr. McCollum [email protected] for further information.
