CBFNC’s Helping Pastors Thrive ministry invites all pastors and staff ministers to gather for a workshop retreat on Practicing Trauma-Informed Pastoral Care.

A minister and a psychologist, McClintock is the author of “Trauma-Informed Pastoral Care,” “How to Respond When Things Fall Apart” (Fortress Press, 2022), and “When Trauma Wounds: Pathways to Healing and Hope” (Fortress, 2019).
Check-in will be from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 18th. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m. The retreat will end following lunch at noon on Tuesday, May 20th. $100 per person; $150 per couple (includes lodging and meals.)

Helping Pastors Thrive will meet CBFNC pastors’ needs for professional development and vocational and spiritual well-being as they serve their congregations. Pastors who thrive will inevitably contribute to congregational health and the vitality of their congregation’s ministries in the communities they seek to serve.
