Pastors & Counsellors in Consultation
Two Pastors & Counsellors in Consultation Groups were piloted at Shalom this past fall. These groups offered a place for pastors to reference with other pastoral colleagues and a mental health professional regarding issues they are facing in the context of their ministry role. See the attached PDF document for details. Download PDF
We are currently seeking funding to offer more of these groups in the coming year. Pastors who are interested can call the Shalom office at 519-886-9690 for more information or to be added to the waiting list for future groups.
