I am looking for resources for free christian-oriented counseling courses which may or may not lead to certificate or degree. Courses which help one learn the counseling process.

When you Google, "free Christian counseling courses" there are many links that pop up. Not knowing if you have a particular church affiliation, I would say that you browse through the links and decide on your own:
