Themes will include: theoretical approaches to pastoral counseling, the development of a personalized approach to pastoral counseling, the role of a pastoral counselor, pastoral counseling ethics, multicultural competence in pastoral counseling, and self-care. This course is designed with the assumption that students are active participants in the learning process. Students are expected not only to participate in discussions, but also to take an active part in designing their own learning experience through the selection of topics to focus on in a range of assignments related to the learning objectives. This course is designed to value critical thinking, courteous dialogue, theological reflection, openness of expression, empathy toward others, and honest interaction. Relationship to Curriculum: PC511 is a required course in the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and Master of Arts in Christian Ministries (MACM) Pastoral Care & Counseling Concentration. It is an optional course in the Pastoral Ministry Concentration for those programs as well as a ministry elective in the Ministry Practitioner Concentration. In other programs it would satisfy Ministry or General Elective requirements. Although not required, students benefit from having completed MC/PC 513 Healthy Relationships in Ministry prior to taking this course. PC511 builds upon foundational courses in biblical studies, Christian thought, and ministry to provide a pastoral perspective on the ministry of counseling and the initial skills required to provide parishioners and other needing people assistance when facing grief, crisis, guilt, suffering, relational stress, and needed guidance with other life challenges. 1

2 Relationship to GCTS Mission Statement Canvas Article 3: To train and encourage students, in cooperation with the Church, to become skilled in ministry.
