COUNSELLING CENTER

The motto of Rayburn College – “All for Jesus” is what guides the goals and aims of our college counselling. It is to inculcate in the lives of the students, a spiritual understanding and wholistic support as they come to the college for academic progress and learning. Knowledge is necessary and good for a standing in the society and to build a better future but it is also imperative for each individual to grow in wisdom and the fear of God. This is what serves as the true and strong foundation and the basis for every moral decision one must make.

In order to ensure this, our college counselling focuses the following areas with regard to student’s care; Counselling and Care, Mentoring/Guiding, Organizing/Networking.
