Do you ever wish you had more people trained to help you in your ministry?
The Clinical Pastoral Visitation Training (CPVT) Program exists to assist you and other pastors.
Clinical Pastoral Visitation Training (CPVT) is an opportunity for Clergy to increase their ministry by having their people, or themselves, trained in doing effective Hospital, Nursing Home, and Institutional visitation; and in discerning the practice of ministry. The 12 week program provides trainees with 50 hours of education in the clinical setting, lectures, seminars, reflective writing, and with individual and group supervision. Trainees devote 4 hours a week in direct contact with patients and staff, providing visitations, receiving supportive counseling, leading religious activities, and participating in classroom activities.
Please feel free to contact Rev. Rich Bower with the names of the person’s you wish to sponsor or any questions.
