Who Should Attend Our Programs

Clergy
Those in Ministry, Lay and Ordained
Psychologists, Consultants and Counselors

While most of our programs are developed with clergy in mind most would also be applicable for anyone engaged in ministry and who can reflect theologically and psychologically on the nature of the work they are doing. Our programs are also applicable to professionals who coach and consult with clergy and churches.

Psychologists and Counselors

Many of our programs are also applicable for psychologists and counselors who are also clergy or who work as coaches or consultants to clergy or churches. See Continuing Education for details of our approval to sponsor continuing education events for psychologists and counselors.

For more information about our training programs please contact Rob Voyle.

What Participants Say

Through the classes with Rob everything I have been working on for 20 years, spiritually, emotionally, and theologically began to come together.

At the Clergy Leadership Institute and under Rob's leadership I have received far more than an education in Appreciative Inquiry. Here I have received grace upon grace and experienced a sense of being part of the Body of Christ that sustains me for the hard work of ministry in the PCUSA.

Rob's educational model brings body, mind and spirit together. I have been challenged intellectually, transformed spiritually, touched emotionally, gathering in communally. He came into my life at just the right time. I am like a sponge soaking it up.

I believe deeply God led me to this place and this time. I believe God used and uses Rob to say things to me I have needed to hear for a long time. And then, through me, God is saying these things to the congregations I serve.

I feel more faithful as a minister in the church of Jesus Christ than I have ever felt. I feel a hope I refuse to let the rest of the world take away from me. In short, I feel God!

Jean Holmes, Presbyterian Pastor
