Clinical Pastoral Education

Catalog description

Clinical Pastoral Education is a program of supervised, experience-based learning in pastoral care certified by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE). CPE brings theological students and ministers from different denominations and faiths into supervised clinical settings in which students provide care for persons in crisis. Through feedback from peers and teachers in the group setting, students develop new awareness of themselves as persons and of the needs of those to whom they minister. Successful completion of one unit of CPE is required before a student may begin an internship placement.
