Pastoral Care and Consultation

Clergy Support Groups

Care and Counseling Pastoral Support Groups are professionally led by trained pastoral counselors to provide a safe place to share joys, frustrations, and professional and personal issues and questions. Group leaders help pastors develop a plan for self care and encourage each to seek a pastor of their own. Costs are kept to a minimum and at times are shared by the parish or denomination and the pastor. 

To join an existing group or help create a new group, call one of the following staff pastoral counselors at (314) 878-4340 or (800) 677-3609.
