Southeastern's counseling degrees grant a uniquely constitutive role to Scripture, to the gospel of God in Christ, and to His Church. Holy Scripture is our primary “sourcebook.” We need God’s Word to understand God’s world and the persons within it that he created in his image. Our aim is to bring the wisdom of God’s Word, the hope and power of His Gospel, and the unique relevance of the church community into the care and cure of souls, the restoration of broken people and their marriages and families.
