Why Richmont?

Lorien Magnus, MFT

“RGU provides direction and education for both spiritual and psychological framework.”

Katie Setterberg, Counselor

“The most important thing I’ve learned about myself is that I have a lot to learn.”

Dawn Richa, Certi. Spirituality & Counseling

“I am grateful for a trusted place to examine the practical integration of my Christian faith and clinical training.”

Ben Merrill, MFT

“The first time I set foot on campus, I felt welcome here.”

Dr. Gary Collins

Richmont is innovative, relevant, practical and strongly committed to relating counseling and psychology to Biblical Christianity. I am honored to be on the faculty.

Dr. Siang-Yang Tan, Ph.D.

“I have found the students to be very receptive and deeply committed to Christ and the integration of Christian faith and counseling. Richmont is a wonderful place to teach at.”

 

Richmont’s legacy of excellence began in 1933 when the Chattanooga Bible Institute (CBI) was founded to support local churches and their various ministries.

Today, Richmont is a fast-growing, faith-based graduate school providing master’s-level training in Christian counseling. We remain active in both the Atlanta and Chattanooga communities, where our campuses are located.

Counseling - Richmont seeks to attract students who have a heartfelt desire to integrate psychological principles and Christian faith. We anticipate graduates of the M.A. program to pursue licensure as a mental health professional and become employed in a church agency or the private sector.

M.S. graduates may pursue further study elsewhere or use this training to supplement training received at another institution.

Those in ministry engage culture and people deeply when they can do three things: one, wisely interpret Scripture; two, demonstrate how theology addresses the great questions that people have; and three, are at ease with, and are supported by, their own theological identities.

We have not just created another academic degree. We have laid out pathways of growth so that your passion to become all you are called to be in the world will be nurtured, guided and expanded. Both significance and longevity will be added to your calling.
