EQUIPPING
We seek to equip pastors and ministry leaders with a safe place to gather for mutual support through guided conversation and encouragement.
The Center for Shepherd Care is a new focused outreach of Fieldstone Counseling that seeks to be a pastor to pastors, ministry leaders, and their families.
We know how difficult it is for pastors to be able to share their struggles and sorrows as they live out their unique calling. We seek to bind up brokenness and offer hope to wounded and weary shepherds.
01
Shepherd Life Seminar
Offered Quarterly
The purpose of the Shepherd Life Seminar is to provide an interactive small group half-day “retreat” experience for Christian pastors and ministry leaders who want a safe place: firstly, to discuss challenging areas of ministry; secondly, to determine practical “next steps” tailored to their lives and particular situations in ministry.
02
Shepherd Life Cohort
Spring–Summer 2021
Through assigned pre-reading and reflection thoughts/questions, monthly group discussions, and individual time with the cohort director, participants will hopefully grow in their personal and ministry lives, their relationships with fellow “shepherds,” and most importantly, in their relationship with the Chief Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ.
03
Suffering Shepherds Cohort
Spring 2021
We know how difficult it is for pastors to be able to share their struggles and sorrows as they live out their unique calling. We want to offer a safe place for pastors to gather for mutual support through guided conversation, encouragement and refreshment from the Scriptures, fortifying prayer and counsel.
Our vision is to see pastors and ministry leaders healed, cared for, better equipped, and encouraged so that “their work will be a joy, not a burden” (Heb. 13:17) and the kingdom of God flourishes in Northeast Ohio.
