Our MFT program is a biblically grounded, Christian program that focuses on the dynamics of individual, interpersonal, family, marital/couple, and parent/child relationships.

At AGSC, we give students broad exposure to the field of MFT as well as more detailed exposure to areas of specialization that they can go into. We have psycho-educational prevention classes as well as upper level courses that are typically taught in doctoral programs. Students can study areas of specialization in MFT such as play therapy, sex therapy, and medical family therapy.

Upon graduation, students can work in faith-based counseling agencies, Christian organizations, and church settings as a pastor or director of a family life ministry that focuses on enrichment programming with some counseling.

Upon obtaining their MFT license, our students are prepared to work in both faith-based and community-based counseling agencies as well as hospitals and schools.

Graduates of our MFT program are grounded in Christian principles that are integrated with foundational marriage and family theory and practice. They are prepared to work in a wide range of faith-based and non-faith-based academic and non-academic settings, delivering care from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective for individuals, couples, and families.

A number of our former students are now working as educators or pastors. More that fifty percent are pursuing their license or are already licensed and practicing as marriage and family therapists. We also have several students who are currently (or will soon be) in a doctoral program.
