Pastors and pastoral counselors are often called upon to minister to people in their congregation and community over a broad spectrum of ages and issues. This course will examine individual and family development stages and identify selected pastoral counseling issues that coincide with these stages. While some of these counseling issues are by nature crisis-oriented, students will also learn to respond to normal "everyday" situations experienced in congregational and family life. The course will draw from developmental psychology, systems theory, and pastoral counseling principles to equip students for effective ministry within a biblical and theological context.
