Welcome to Pastoral Care Management Services,

Pastoral Care Practitioner Credentialing 

Our Pastoral Care Practitioners are providers credentialed through the Certification, Credentialing and Licensing Board, an agent that acts independently and impartially who oversees and certifies national accreditation, specialized instruction, training, credentialing, and oversight for individual clergy and service organizations who provide certified pastoral care services.

Best Standards in Pastoral Care Practice and Administration

PCMS uses the Best Standards in Pastoral Care Practice and Administration [BSPC-PA],   a uniformed approach in  establishing pastoral care standards to ensure and enhance the quality and integrity of pastoral care practice, clergy credentialing and pastoral care practitioner ethics and guidelines. 

This best standards approach establishes specific, concrete and measurable outcomes that support trauma informed and Evidence Based Practices. PCMS requires the Excellent Approach in Education concept in all of our training standards, a concept that requires practitioners to raise the standard of the pastoral care education and practice, and offers specialized education and training that promotes a very dynamic, and empowering experience for student recipients to produce competent Clergy and Pastoral Care Practitioners as well as instituting an empowering experience for individuals and Families who choose to use our programs for their own wellness, healing and recovery care needs.

Our model of  'pastoral care'  takes a person-centered,  trauma informed, wellness, and healing focused  outcomes based approach.
