The core service of the Parish Resource Center is on-the-job training and personal guidance for clergy and laity.  Our professional consultants serve as adjunct staff of subscribing congregations.

They know how to listen and discern the uniqueness of each congregation and person who uses the Center. This enables us to provide sensitive guidance to people who want to give their best in service.

Each consultant has specialized skills, but all are able to assist with the varied challenges facing congregations today.  They have professional training, practical experience, and abundant creativity.

Subscribers do not need to have everything worked out in advance. Our consultants help clarify tasks, develop plans, and find the best materials to carry them out. They help eliminate the anxiety of wondering what to do and how to do it.

Consultants prefer to meet with subscribers face to face. However, they also are available by telephone, Internet, fax, or U.S. postal service.
