How UIMP was created
We saw the problem
01
There are many traumatized, addicted and broken people in the church. As Christ said, they "need a doctor." The church does not always have enough tools to help such people, especially when it comes to mental disorders.
02
Culturally, the church works only with the spiritual component of a person, which does not fully address the issues, because some problems lie on a different level the church does not work with.
03
Modern psychology is not used in the church due to the lack of a spiritual component. Yet in fact it has effective, scientifically grounded tools.
04
Original psychology presupposes the healing of identity through finding it in God. Modern psychology in its pure form is deprived of the fullness of healing.
Our solution
healing identity on three levels
Spirit
A scientific approach + spiritual aspect
Soul
Ministry becomes part of psychology and vice versa
Body
Psychology in its original form becomes a supportive tool in the church
Our mission
This is how our mission was born
To unite psychology and spirituality for the holistic healing of a person
01
The biblical foundation of ministry
- Christ spoke about the holistic healing of a person — spirit, soul and body
- The church is called to accompany people in their deep needs
- Ministry is an integral part of community service
02
Psychology as a tool of ministry
- Scientific methods of psychology are compatible with the biblical worldview
- Psychological education helps pastors and leaders
- The integration of knowledge makes help more effective
- Therapy does not replace spirituality — it strengthens it
03
Healing identity in God
- Original psychology leads a person to know themselves through a relationship with God
- UIMP trains specialists who combine both dimensions

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get access to a course after payment?
After successful payment, the course automatically appears in your student dashboard. Sign in and go to the My Courses section.
Can I get a certificate after completing the course?

How does the monthly auto-payment for the Yearly Program work?
When you choose AUTO-PAY, your card is tokenized by WayForPay (we don't store card details). WayForPay automatically charges the monthly fee every 30 days. The program lasts 9 months — after the 9th successful charge, auto-payments stop automatically.
What happens if my card has insufficient funds?
If a charge fails (insufficient funds, bank declined, card cancelled), we immediately send an email with a manual payment link. Access to the program stays active for some time — you'll see the exact closing date in the email. If the issue isn't resolved by then, access is closed. WayForPay may retry automatically during this period.
How do I cancel auto-payment?
Contact our tech support — we'll cancel within a day. Alternative: on your next payment, choose ONE-TIME (no auto-charge) — our system will automatically cancel the auto-payment. Removing or blocking the card at your bank also stops auto-charges.
Can I switch between auto-payment and one-time payment?
Yes. On your next payment just choose the other option — the system automatically updates the subscription type. If you switch from auto-payment to one-time, the previous auto-payment is cancelled.
Will anything be charged after the 9 auto-payments are completed?
No. After the 9th successful charge, the program ends and WayForPay automatically stops auto-payments. Access remains until the end of the last paid month.
