Pastoral Care Specialist Certificate
The Pauline Oates
Pastoral Care Specialist Certificate

“I appreciated everyone’s insight and honest comments. I thought many of the heartfelt conversations revealed a real need for open dialogue. I wonder how much of that would have occurred in a face-to-face meeting.”

—Rev. Bruce Frogge, pastor

Peer Group Composition
and Scheduling

The peer group is a key feature for this certificate and requires a minimum of 8 persons and a maximum of 12 persons per group. 

Peer groups are currently scheduled to begin in September 2008 and January 2009. Additional groups may form throughout the year in response to the need.  Applicants will register to be a part of a cohort group and once there are at least 8 persons available to begin the process, they will do so.  A new group will then begin to form and proceed through the sequence of core seminars.  It is possible for a person to complete the PCS certificate within an 8 month period.
