Anam Cara CPE
Online. Accredited. Accelerated.
A soul-centered path for those called to care.
Who We Are
Formation for the Work You Were Born to Do
There’s a kind of care that can’t be taught in textbooks.
The kind that requires presence. Integrity. A willingness to stand in the unknown with another human being.
At Anam Cara CPE, we don’t just offer Clinical Pastoral Education—we offer transformation. A place to deepen your capacity to serve, to reflect, and to show up in the moments that matter most.
For Those Whose Ministry Lives Beyond the Walls
Whether you serve in hospitals, hospices, shelters, schools, correctional facilities—or split your time between congregational leadership and community care—this program is for you.
Anam Cara is built for chaplains, spiritual caregivers, lay leaders, and bivocational ministers who are already doing the work and now feel called to go deeper—without stepping away from their lives or their livelihoods.
