Pastoral Supervision provides those in people-helper roles with regular, confidential meetings where they reflect on their ministry in ways that restore them, grow them and keep them ethically sharp. It helps them to keep serving sustainably, faithfully and effectively with joy.
This description might resonate for some, but for most people new to supervision, it doesn’t make sense until it’s experienced. If you are interested in understanding more, the best way forward is to try it. Click HERE to organise a time to meet. It’s 45 min, it’s online, it’s free, and it’s no strings attached.
Pastoral Supervision exists to serve people working in institutions and organisations who have been entrusted with the care and growth of the people they serve. If other people depend on you in your work role to be healthy, competent, safe and integrous, they would want you to have Supervision and you should be wanting it for yourself.
Out of interest, my clients (past and present) include: church leaders, army chaplains, school chaplains, prison chaplains, aged-care chaplains, other supervisors, cross-cultural workers, bible college faculty, school teachers, principals, para-church workers, NGO and Charity staff, businessmen, doctors and other health care workers.
>Supervision sessions are 1 hour long, ideally occurring every 6 weeks, 6 to 8 times a year.
>I mostly meet online, however if you live on or can get to the Central Coast NSW, we can meet in person!
>Standard rate per session is $180 (+GST). Ideally the cost is fully or at least partially covered by your employer or supporters. If finance is a genuine obstacle to receiving support let me know and we will find a way forward.
>We contract for 12 months at a time, and renew if we want to continue.
The lifespan of a supervision relationship is between 5 and 7 years.
>Partners In Ministry offers integrated packages that include services in addition to Supervision.
