Clinical Pastoral Education


Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is an inter-faith professional education for ministry. It brings theological students and ministers of all faiths into supervised encounter with people in crisis or health transition. The essential elements of CPE include:

  • The actual practice of ministry to people
  • Detailed reporting and evaluation of that practice
  • Pastoral supervision
  • A process conception of learning
  • A theoretical perspective on all elements of the program
  • A small group of peers in a common learning experience
  • 400 hours for one unit of CPE
  • An individual contract for learning

Pastoral reflection, pastoral formation, and pastoral competence are stressed in the student’s learning activities. CPE serves as a part of the preparation for parish ministry, chaplaincy, lay ministry, teaching, and counseling.
