Current Course Offerings
Demands for spiritual care have been relentless over the past few years with needs for both acute and long-term care. We are living in a time of multiple crises, multiple pandemics, multiple disasters. The volume and content of these needs can be overwhelming and is often far beyond what was taught in course work and CPE.
Rev. Taylor is now offering courses in Pastoral Crisis Intervention and Human Spirit & Faith Tactics in Crisis Intervention: Empowering the Human Spirit. Learn more here.
