About NCCA
The NCCA requires all who are certified by its Board of Examiners to:
1. Be credentialed ministers (ordained or commissioned) whose goal is to evangelize and ease the emotional pain and suffering of humanity.
2. Provide their service under the authority of a legally organized local church, a national church organization or a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit ministry.
3. Complete specialized training provided by the NCCA.
4. Complete the minimum requirements for continuing education and annual license renewal.
5. Uphold NCCA’s Code of Ethical Standards.
NCCA’s published "Code of Ethical Standards" outlines all of the procedures involved in dismissal, revocation, probation and reinstatement of an individual’s membership and/or certification and is available for review at www.ncca.org.
Having NCCA credentials ensures that you are recognized within your community as a qualified Christian/Pastoral Counselor. The community can be assured that your credentials are authentic and current.
