Welcome to PastorCare.net!
Founded by Dr. Bruce Parmenter.
Our goal is to provide a network of counselors for Christian pastors, missionaries and their families. Many ministers find themselves with no one to turn to when things get difficult. Congregations often look to pastors as a source for counseling and care, not thinking about the fact that the many demands on a minister's time can lead to situations where the pastor and his or her family can be the ones in need of help. We hope to give church leaders somewhere to turn.
"I am convinced that we have many people who need immediate help during a time of crisis. Unfortunately most of those people cannot locate or get to those who can help them clinically. PastoreCare.net is an effort on the part of the Christian counselors to provide a network of those who can effectively and quickly intervene. I applaud and support their efforts to step in and give this kind of service."

"My friendship with Bruce has been long and blessed. Initially, he was a professor I respected. Then he became an elder I served with in the local church, somewhere he became my healer during some dark days in my own life and ministry, and ultimately he became someone I deeply trusted and continue to trust with my rambling thoughts and private reflections. We have shared many meals, miles, and ministry together. We have laughed, cried, and prayed together. When I think of a pastor's pastor, I immediately think of my friend."
