Curriculum Summary for Training
to be a Deliverance Counsellor
Training to be a Deliverance Counsellor and Investigator involves much discernment, academics, clinical training, and personal spiritual formation. To facilitate this training goal to produce men and women of character and professional expertise as lay counselors who are called by God to be Spiritual Warriors and Deliverance counsellors, our agency leads students through the most comprehensive and professionally oriented training program of its kind in the world. We are not aware of any concentrated training program among any Catholic or Protestant ministries who provide as thorough and comprehensive a training as SPCDC.
The SPCDC training program for Deliverance Counsellor leads students through four tracks of training:
INTRODUCTION
Men and women interested in spiritual warfare work must make application and be interviewed. Staff will assist the applicant in discerning God's call for them concerning the spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry.
If it is determined through thoughtful prayer and discernment by the Applicant and our Staff that the Applicant is qualified for our training, properly disposed, and present with an initial discernment of God's Call, he may be admitted to our program.
To truly be prepared for spiritual warfare and counseling with people, a Counsellor must be thoroughly grounded in the foundational academic disciplines of Moral Theology and Philosophy, the Theology of Angels and Demons, Logic, Critical Reasoning, counseling, and even a little basic Quantum Physics (for the non-scientist).
The actual curriculum takes into account the individual student's previous experience, training, schooling, and knowledge.
The curricula topics are:
ACADEMIC TRACK
CLINICAL TRACK
SPIRITUAL FORMATION TRACK
This track will guide the student through three levels of a personal spiritual journey to aid in faith, spiritual maturity, and general formation as a spiritual warrior and disciple. A primary goal of this spiritual journey is also to discern whether or not God is calling the student to be involved in Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance ministry.
RESIDENCY
In a manner similar to training in the mental health professions, after graduating from the Program, we require a person to spend three (3) years as a "Resident" before branching out, if one chooses to, into their own Deliverance Counseling ministries.
"Residency" means working as a full Deliverance Counselor (Assistant Counselor) but under general supervision. This allows the new Deliverance Counselor to practice and improve skills and to develop additional skills with full hands-on experience as part of a Deliverance Team.
DELIVERANCE COUNSELOR CERTIFICATION
Upon the successful completion of the Training Curricula for Deliverance Counseling and the Residency, the new counselor will be evaluated and considered for certification as a SPCDC Deliverance Counsellor. (This is an in-house certification and does not imply certification by any other agency, group, or the Church).
SENIOR DELIVERANCE COUNSELOR
Once a person is certified as a SPCDC Deliverance Counselor, he may choose to undergo additional advanced clinical training that shall lead to Senior Counsellor certification.
A Senior Deliverance Counselor is one who has undergone advanced training and experience in general counseling, Nouthetic Counseling, spiritual direction, and clinical deliverance counseling.
This training consists of additional academics, clinical experiences, spiritual direction, and Internship.
