Biblical Christian Psychology (CP) is a unique form of psychology which seeks to develop a distinctly Christian model for understanding the human condition. CP represents one of several ways that Christians have attempted to think about the connection between Christianity and psychology. Christian psychology is a merger of theology and psychology. It is an aspect of psychology adhering to the religion of Christianity and its teachings of Jesus Christ to explain the human mind and behaviour. Christian psychology is a term typically used in reference to Protestant Christian psychotherapists who strive to fully embrace their religious beliefs and psychological training in their professional practice. However, a practitioner in Christian psychology would not accept all psychological ideas, especially those that contradicted or defied God’s existence and the Bible’s scriptures.

A Christian psychology degree program typically allows you to learn foundational principles and concepts in psychology guided by faith-based moral and spiritual perspectives. This training can help you prepare to use your skills in both secular and Christian settings. Many Christian psychology majors pursue additional education to become either Christian or secular therapists with Christian knowledge, perspectives, or insights. Others may follow roles as pastors or counsellors in church ministry. A Christian psychology degree could deepen your faith perspectives while enhancing your understanding of human psychology and social psychology. Christian psychologists may work in secular settings, including clinical settings, rehabilitation facilities, and correctional centres. They may also work in church settings or public or faith-based schools.
