Celebrating the 2024 Graduates: Answering the Call to Christian Counselling

Graduation: A Time for Reflection and Celebration

Graduation is more than a ceremony—it’s a significant milestone that marks a journey of growth, perseverance, and faith. For our 2024 graduates, this moment is a celebration of their dedication to becoming Christian counsellors.

Transformation Through Faith and Learning

David Benner, in The Gift of Being Yourself, reflects on vocation as a journey of becoming in Christ. For our graduates, this journey has been about more than gaining knowledge—it’s been about transformation. They are now equipped to serve others with a Christ-centered approach to healing.

Christian Counselling: A Ministry of Presence

Christian counselling is not just a career; it’s a ministry. Our graduates will step into spaces of brokenness, offering hope, healing, and restoration through their Christ-centered approach.

A Commissioning for Our Graduates

  • Go, knowing God’s presence is with you as you minister to the brokenhearted.
  • Go, trusting that your vocation is a way of being in the world, not just a job.
  • Go, as a light in the darkness, reflecting Christ’s love and truth.
  • Go, remembering that your unseen work is never in vain.
  • Go, boldly occupying the space God has prepared for you.

Stepping Into God-Given Purpose

As our graduates embark on this next chapter, they carry the tools, faith, and calling to bring transformation into the lives of those they serve. Their work will be a reflection of Christ’s love and a source of hope for those in need.

Closing Blessing for Our Graduates

May the Lord bless and guide you as you step into your God-given vocation. Well done, graduates—go and serve with courage, faith, and love.
