Message from the Dean
At South Geauga Theology University, we believe that the ministry of grief counseling is among the most sacred callings a Christian professional can answer. Grief touches every family, every congregation, and every community — and the world desperately needs counselors who bring both clinical competence and the healing power of faith.
Our accelerated, online programs are designed for working ministers, healthcare professionals, and compassionate believers who feel called to walk alongside the hurting. We have built a curriculum that honors the whole person — spirit, mind, and emotional life — because true healing cannot be separated from faith.
I personally invite you to explore our programs, speak with our admissions advisor Grant James, and take that courageous first step. The world is waiting for healers like you.
