Hear What Our Clients Have To Say

Enrolling in CPE through the program hosted by BRG through CPEi has enabled me to take my years of serving people as a theological foundation, and built upon and transformed it to deliberate and real relational outcomes with people, transcending what I had ever accomplished through years of ministry staff and volunteer service in healthcare and church settings.
Reverend Bruce Lininger, MA, Ph.D.
I would like to share that Fall 2020 I attended CPEI and my Supervisor/Instructor was Scott Speight. I received so much constructive feedback from Scott and fellow students. It was enriching. As I am a naturally private person, class was a safe place to speak openly and freely which intern allowed me to grow in just my first unit of CPE. I would recommend this course for anyone and everyone in ministry even if not a “Chaplain” as it will aide you in how you look at yourself and how others may view you based on your actions in the field. I look forward to another unit soon.

CPE-I has afforded me the great opportunity and option to finally take CPE online and do the clinical portion at the facility I work at. I had prior to this been accepted at three major teaching hospitals but could not quite navigate the on site class and clinical time and drive time to fit into my full time work. I fully believe this was all from God. Truly feel I am getting far superior education via CPEI.
Mike WillardClinical Chaplain State of NC Pastor at Aenon Missionary Baptist
As a hospice chaplain, CPE helped me realize that I did not have to have all the answers, I did not have to fix people, and it was okay to sit in silence with my patients. Moreover, I found great value working with peer groups discussing verbatims, etc. and even being challenged when it came to self-awareness. Personally, I felt that being in groups such as these provided the perfect atmosphere for my personal growth as a chaplain.
