Spiritual Direction and Mentoring
At Clergy Care Collective, we recognize that every journey in ministry requires companions—trusted guides who listen, encourage, and help discern God’s call in the midst of challenges, doubts, and joys. That is why we are building a network of experienced spiritual directors and mentors committed to walking alongside clergy, seminarians, and those discerning ministry.
We offer:
Referrals to trained spiritual directors across Christian traditions, including Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant backgrounds.
Mentorship opportunities with seasoned ministers who understand the unique pressures of pastoral leadership.
Workshops and webinars on spiritual practices, discernment, and cultivating resilience.
Confidential one-on-one conversations with our team to help match you with the right guide or mentor.
If you are seeking a deeper connection to God, help navigating a difficult season, or wisdom in your vocational journey, we invite you to reach out. Ministry is never meant to be done alone—and we are here to ensure you have faithful companions every step of the way.
