BCUK is glad to have the support of Union Theological College Belfast in offering our Certificate Programme in Conversational Ministry and Biblical Counselling.
BCUK’s Certificate Programme provides spouses of ministry students at Union an opportunity to grow their knowledge and skills in interpersonal ministry during their time at college.
Union Theological College is the Belfast venue for the fortnightly evening seminars of our Certificate Programme. These seminars support the online course material based on content from CCEF (The Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation).
The online lectures give flexibility to study in your spare time. The Thursday evening seminars at the college provide class interaction with the other students on the course – including pastors, vocational counsellors, church pastoral workers and ‘ordinary’ church members.
The seminars are led by Andrew Collins, Director of the Certificate Programme at BCUK, and Tim Huey, an experienced BCUK Tutor and grader.
