Since 1973, in addition to the original group of four churches, thirteen other PC ( USA ) congregations and the Presbytery of Charlotte have supported PSCC's ministry financially, through the use of space for Satellite Offices, and by serving on our Board of Directors. Our services broadened in the mid-eighties to providing a Training Program component for those interested in becoming pastoral counselors, and in 2009 PSCC welcomed the former Career and Personal Counseling Services, now called the Ministry Development Services. PSCC's Basic Services include: Pastoral counseling and psychotherapy, premarital, couple and family counseling, group counseling, psychological assessment services, and vocational counseling. A variety of congregational and community programs such as premarital seminars, marriage enrichment programs and workshops, parenting, family systems, mental health issues, the integration of faith and psychology, spiritual and emotional development, spiritual formation, and stress reduction. Programs can be customized according the group's needs. Specific programs, retreats, and consultation for Stephen Ministry and Congregational Care groups lead by staff who are trained Stephen Ministers.
