  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Suggestions Please

Didn't someone mention something about a free Christian counseling course? If so, what were those? If not is there any place anyone knows of that is reputable that offers this or any other Christian certificate/training for free or with non-FAFSA financial aid to cover costs (maybe a church)?
I have spent so much time searching for this and it is hard to find one, even if not free that is reputable and would be accepted somewhere upon completion. I did just find Four Soils Ministry which is associated with a Baptist church, but I'm not sure that would be accepted anywhere. Any suggestions? Preferably ones that are strictly Bible based.

I said other than FAFSA because I do not qualify for it. And, I am looking for Biblical studies only (Christian counseling -Biblical only, ministry, etc.). I have searched all over the web and have not been able to find anything reputable that the cost would be covered or is free. I would like something i can start now and not have to wait till the fall. Suggestions?

Any suggestions at all? I need to find a college where I can get into summer semester courses for Biblical studies, Christian counseling, etc. online that offers need based scholarships. Anyone know of any?
I have spent the last several days searching and can not find anything. I am looking for something that would be accepted in churches. I found something called Four Soils Ministries that offers free Christian Counseling courses, but I don't think it would be accepted anywhere but the church they are associated with.
I just want to find something and get started. Suggestions please.

There are quite a few options out there. What are your plans when you finish? Do you want to only work in a church or will you need a license?

If you are only going to work in a church, you can look into the AACC's programs. I dont know about financial aid though.

There are quite a few Bible Colleges out there that offer financial aid to those that qualify. Again, it depends on what you want to do when you finish your education. I think Dallas Theological, Biblical Seminary and Grace Theological all offer help. Start there.
