Commitment to Counselor Education and Certification

As an authorized Certified Academic Institute (CAI) through the NCCA, Rapha CCC is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of Christian counselors. Currently, six students are actively enrolled in programs working toward licensing certification and academic degrees. These students benefit from a rigorous curriculum that blends professional counseling techniques with Christian faith, equipping them to serve diverse communities with empathy and expertise.

Expanding Services for Homeless and Veterans

Recognizing the urgent need for mental health support among homeless individuals and veterans, Rapha CCC has applied for a $250,000 grant to launch targeted programs in partnership with local organizations. These initiatives aim to provide counseling, personal development, and essential life skills to help participants achieve stability and self-sufficiency. By addressing the unique challenges faced by these populations, Rapha CCC seeks to break cycles of homelessness and empower individuals to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

A Tradition of Excellence and Compassion

With an impressive client success rate and over a decade of service, Rapha CCC is committed to fostering healing through faith, personalized guidance, and a community-centered approach. The center’s model avoids clinical diagnoses and medication, focusing instead on understanding, prayer, and holistic support-always placing the individual’s spiritual journey at the heart of care.

Looking Ahead

Rapha Christian Counseling Center remains steadfast in its mission to provide

transformative counseling, empower future leaders in Christian mental health, and expand its reach to underserved populations. With the continued support of grants, community partners, and dedicated students, Rapha CCC is poised to make an even greater impact in the years ahead.
