PCS 605 - Introduction to Pastoral Care 2
This course is presented in a cohort model.
This 12-week course builds upon the basic elements of pastoral care in Intro to Pastoral Care Part 1. In this course, we will go deeper in our exploration of the foundations of pastoral caregiving. This course will also provide a framework by which you can begin to develop your own pastoral caregiving ministry further. There will be a greater emphasis on applied pastoral care skills and possibilities for a supervised practicum.
