PPCN Board serves as resource consultants
Members of the Board are available as resource consultants for presbyteries who want to address clergy care issues or who need help to develop strategies for providing care and support for ministers. The Board works with the Office of Vocation of the General Assembly to provide these consulting services to presbyteries on a regional basis at no charge, only for the reimbursement of travel and expenses. Please contact the Board member who is located nearest to your presbytery for more information about their consulting services.
