Clergy Care Services addresses this question by offering counseling, consultation, coaching and support for clergy and their families
in this important undertaking of ministry to God’s People.
We are based in Santa Fe, NM but offer a variety of programs and services
to clergy and congregations around the country to help them enhance their ministry and their personal lives. We can work with you
to design programs specific to your personal or professional growth needs. We conduct our work by a combination of on site visitations
and ongoing telephone consultations.
When clergy are ordained to the ministry within their respective denominations they are commissioned into a sacred and challenging
life of service. In the words of the ordination service for Episcopal priests they are charged “to love and serve the people among
whom you work, caring alike for young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor” (BCP p. 531). This is a sometimes daunting and overwhelming
task which begs the question, “Who cares for the caregivers?”
We also recognize that the ministerial profession places unique stresses on the clergy marriage and family. Therefore we have developed
a Clergy Marriage Enrichment Program which addresses these issues. See the link to the left for the various ways this program is offered.
All of our services can be accessed by contacting any of our staff directly by phone or email. Through an initial telephone conversation
at no charge we can explore the best way to serve.
