PCA people, churches, agencies, and committees minister in a variety of settings and circumstances. Here, you’ll find a handful of upcoming opportunities to learn, grow, and get involved in our denomination’s work, all for the sake of Christ’s kingdom.
Reformed University Fellowship
Throughout the spring, RUF will visit seminaries around the country to meet anyone interested in campus ministry. The events will give seminarians a chance to meet RUF staff for lunch, a one-on-one conversation, or an evening event. For a schedule and to sign up for events, visit https://ruf.org/media/recruiting-events/.
Covenant Theological Seminary
Covenant’s 75-credit hour Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC) degree has been given full
accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Current and future graduates of the MAC program will have more options for licensing in states other than Missouri. The change affects not only students currently in the program, but also applies retroactively to the first class to graduate with the 75-credit version of the degree in 2022.
On May 25-26, Covenant Seminary will host its Austin Harrington Counseling Conference, with keynote speaker Aundi Kolber. The conference will provide counselors with tools to help their clients rely on God with their hearts, minds, and bodies (and offer Continuing Education for the state of Missouri). Pastors and ministry leaders will learn to view healing, wholeness, and strength in a way that helps you and those you lead towards greater resilience. Learn more and register here.

Geneva Benefits Group
At the 2023 General Assembly, Geneva Benefits Group will release updated Call Package Guidelines in digital and print formats. The Guidelines focus on the components necessary for pastors to be financially, physically, and emotionally healthy. Since releasing the initial PCA Call Package Guidelines in 2012, Geneva Benefits has consulted with, and advocated for, hundreds of PCA pastors to create compensation packages that consider salary, retirement, insurance, and wellbeing.
