Core Values

Integrity: CPEI recognizes that it must demonstrate integrity in its practices and relationships. It is necessary that the organization be able to show not only that it has established policies and procedures, but also that those policies and processes reflect the values and practices of its mission.

Respect: CPEI recognizes the important of treating all certified members and students with respect, dignity, and kindness, regardless of their race, religion, culture, or socioeconomic background. As a theological community we encourage our supervisors-educators, certified members, and students to speak and act in ways that honor the dignity and value of every individual.

Service: CPEI is honored and privileged of giving ourselves, creating one-on-one connections and relationships, and responding to the deepest human needs of everyone we serve. It is our commitment to both train, act, and respond in a theological manner.

Sustainability: We value an institutional culture that is committed to financial, academic and professionalism in all aspects of our organization.
