Responsibilities of Membership
Responsibilities of Membership
The AAPC is committed to the continued growth and development of its members. Certified members are expected to maintain an active pastoral counseling practice, participate in a responsible program of continuing education, and maintain a consultative relationship with peers.
All members must renew membership by the payment of annual dues for the fiscal year (July 1-June 30). Failure to do so will lead to suspension of membership services and ultimate termination of AAPC membership.
