Biblical grounding.
Thoughtful guidance.
Dr. Christian brings decades of pastoral service and a commitment to strengthening marriages. He holds a Doctor of Ministry from Regent University and a Master of Divinity from Liberty University.
Dr. Christian’s approach brings together biblical principles, practical relationship skills, and insights from his doctoral research, “Strengthening Marriages in the City of Hope Family Worship Center: A Biblically Based, Christ-Centered Marriage Curriculum.”
As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and trainer and a SYMBIS-certified facilitator, he draws on this foundation alongside Prepare/Enrich and SYMBIS assessments, when appropriate, to help couples understand their strengths, identify areas for growth, and apply meaningful lessons to everyday married life.

About pastoral counseling
Covenant Builders provides non-clinical pastoral counseling. It does not provide mental health diagnosis, psychotherapy, or emergency services. When needs fall outside the scope of pastoral care, referral to an appropriately licensed professional may be recommended.
