The Conference Pastoral Counselor may see clergy, their families, and other professional staff members for an initial evaluation and then refer to a South Georgia Network provider. Since clergy members serving full-time are covered under the conference insurance, they must see a HealthFlex paneled provider. In rare instances this requirement may be waived. To access those benefits click here.
Payments from the Conference Pastoral Counselor’s office to a non-network provider ARE NOT authorized without express written permission from the CPC.
Ministry is inherently stressful. It impacts personal, professional, family, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Bishop Graves encourages all clergy to have a relationship with a licensed therapist, as well as a professional coach. To access the right counselor/coach/spiritual director, all clergy are encouraged to call the Conference Pastoral Counselor for help and guidance.
Due to Covid-19 and the limitations on large group gatherings, the 2021-2022 Sexual Ethics Workshop will be held virtually. Click here for more details.
According to the Conference Sexual Ethics policy, this workshop is REQUIRED EVERY (3) THREE YEARS for any person serving under appointment by the bishop (clergy, local pastors, extension ministers, appointed lay speakers). Cost for the workshop is $35.
