The Institute of Christian Counseling (ICC), is maintained by the Church Alive International, Inc., an interdependent, autonomous Christian body and ministry, that seeks to glority Christ by meeting locally, and raising up ministry groups around the world, causing personal growth in each individual believer, and causing each believer and local fellowship to become a totally active interdependent ministry to the body and the world they contact daily.

We believe that God's purpose in both creation and salvation, New and Old Testaments, is: RAISING UP A PEOPLE OF DESTINY, CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, and that it is the chuuch's calling to carry this out by MEETING JESUS, MEETING DAILY, MEETING NEEDS

The ICC is not a college, university or seminary, but teaching center and a repository of learning authorized by the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA), and is accredited by the Accrediting Commission International for Schools, Colleges and Theological Seminaries (ACI).

We offer educational courses on behalf of the NCCA, and more than a dozen degree granting post-secondary educational institutions. We are able to teach, train and supervise students for counseling certification and licensure, as well as a diploma through a doctoral degree.

In the granting of degrees, the student works directly with ICC, who represents them to the NCCA who inturn, represents them to the academic institution of their choice, while being able to remain at their job, thus earning and saving money, while at same time assimillating what they are learning, to be retained long after formal education ends.

IMPORTANT NOTE

_____________________

License Distinction

NCCA's Certification/Licensing Program is not to be confused with state license. Most states have regulatory laws governing the practice of Psychology, Mental Health and Social workers. Many also have laws governing the practice of general counseling. These laws vary from state to state. The purpose of state regulatory laws is to protect the public and to ensure professionalism within the counseling within the counseling profession. The NCCA and ICC strive to attain a similar goal within the Chuch community, and at the same time, operate so as not to infringe upon other legal guidelines set forth by state regulation.

The state and federal government have jurisdictional boundaries also. They cannot pass laws that prevent the church from fulfilling its purpose and ministering to the needs of humanity. The state recognizes that counseling is one of the responsibilities of the church and the its clergy. For this reason, the state does not (and must never be permitted to) intergere with the "ministry" of counseling.

The major difference between state licensed professional counselors and Pastoral/Christian counselors, who are licensed by the NCCA and are under the authority of the Church (Body of Christ) is clear and well defined. Counselors who have been licensed by the state are held to strict ethical standards, which mandate an individual's right to be free from religous interference. The state licensed professional is forbidden to initiate prayer, read or refer to the Scriptures, counsel against such things as homosexuality, abortion, etc. The only time a state licensed counselor can involve religious (Christian) principles, morals, activities, etc., is if the counselee initiates or requests counsel in this area. In contrast, Pastoral/Christian counselors are required to pray, share their faith, read the Scriptures, etc. The fact that Pastoral/Christian counselors "do these things" is how one can clearly tell the difference. We do not do many of the things that state licensed counselors do in counseling and they do not do many of the things Pastoral/Christian counselors do. None of this is to say that the Christian counselor, minister or priest is not permitted to request fees and receive remuneration for the services they render. Therefore:

NCCA and ICC require all who apply for certification or licensure to:

Be credentialed ministers whose goal is to evangelize and

ease the emotional/spiritual pain of humanity.

Provide their service under the authority of a legally

organized local church or national church organization.

Complete specialized training that includes Temperament

Theory and Therapy.

To read and follow the NCCA Code of Ethical Standards.

All enrollment is conditional. Upon receipt of your enrollment agreement, ICC will determine your eligibility. If accepted, you will be notified in writing and the course of study may begin upon receipt of full payment. The factors involved in the approval for membership are: 1) overall academic performance, 2) verification of references, and 3) evidence of Christian maturity and professionalism.
