Relational Skills is proudly accredited by the National Christian Counselors Association (N.C.C.A.). For over three decades, our distinguished community of ministers, Christian counselors, medical professionals, educators, and attorneys has been dedicated to empowering Christians to fulfill their divine calling in what Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno termed the "Ministry of Counseling."

If you are driven by a passion to bring hope, healing, and restoration to those experiencing pain or brokenness, a career or ministry in Christian counseling may be your calling. Relational Skills offers comprehensive academic programs leading to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees in counseling, designed for both pastors and laypersons seeking to serve in this vital field.

Our institution provides flexible distance learning opportunities and a rigorous curriculum grounded in the foundational principles of temperament theory. We believe that God uniquely created each individual with innate temperament traits. Developed by our founders, Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno, the Arno Profile System (A.P.S.) is a sophisticated tool that provides an immediate, detailed analysis of a client’s temperament, illuminating their strengths, weaknesses, and needs. Our structured counseling and coaching model equips students to guide clients toward realizing their God-given potential.

Relational Skills is committed to equipping Christian counselors through N.C.C.A. accredited degree programs, licensure pathways, personalized supervision, and continuing education. We also offer certification in the Arno Profile System and a Biblically-grounded counseling framework that has proven effective in transforming lives. Through temperament analysis, our students and clients gain critical insights that foster clarity, hope, informed career decisions, enhanced relational dynamics, and strategies for achieving personal peace and fulfillment.
