The Society for Christian Psychology

Neurology
I hope that the SCP will grow in its understanding of human
beings’ neurological functioning, seeking to understand cause
and effect in psychospiritual pathology, healing, and flourishing.

Psychologically sophisticated
I hope that the SCP will be psychologically sophisticated to such
a degree that the world (secular psychotherapy) will look to its
leading and will be envious of its wisdom and effectiveness.

Scripturally saturated
I hope that the SCP will be committed to biblical truths in all that
it endeavors.

Youthful
I hope that SCP will move forward with a youthful passion and
that it will attract as well as mentor young and promising contri-
butors to its disciplines.

Culturally sensitive and diverse
In a world that is increasingly multicultural, I hope that the SCP
will reflect society’s cultural diversity and will be sensitive to ef-
fectively working with individuals representing various cultural
backgrounds and nuances.

Healing
I hope that the SCP will be a community known for its commit-
ment to and effectiveness in helping and healing those who are
struggling.

Observing and discerning the times of our age.
I hope that SCP will observe and discern the times of our age and
society, so that the SCP will not merely be a product of its time,
but an interpreter of it as well; and will be doing so in light of
God’s Story.

Love for God and others is foundational
I hope that love for God and for others will be SCP’s overarching
goal and motivational source.

Outstanding in quality
I hope that the SCP and its individual members will be known for
its excellence in all related disciplines and activities.

Global
I hope that the SCP will increasingly be a global enterprise, so that
the world at large will be impacted by solid Christian psychospi-
ritual care.

You
I hope that the SCP can count YOU in; right where you are, with
all that God has gifted you with, so that the SCP can live up to its
name.
