Board Opportunities
We
are an evangelical Christian para church organization. We exist to introduce
Christ's restoration to brokenness, be it emotional, psychological,
or relational, through a team of Christian professionals. We recognize
many believers are beset by difficulties that would prevent them from
functioning as members of the Body of Christ with unique contributions
to make. In addition we recognize many seekers and others desire services
that are respectful of and sensitive to spiritual issues. We are aware
that quality mental health services, rooted in biblical principles and
Christian values, are at a premium. We seek to partner with pastors
and church leaders to provide trustworthy resources to meet the needs
of their flock and to advance God’s kingdom.
We have the infrastructure in place to provide more services than we
are currently providing and we are seeking the assistance of others
to reach our potential. We are waiting on God for persons to fill many
important roles. Could one of them be you? A mental health background
or long-term commitment is not required.
Currently
we are seeking persons to add to our Board who would broaden our church/denominational,
ethnic, and socioeconomic representation. We are especially interested
in adding individuals with backgrounds in finance and accounting, in
pastoral ministry, in business/management, and in higher level business
administration. Also we want persons who can serve on the Board as a
mental health professional, (someone who is not an employee), as a consumer
of mental health services, and as a lay person.
Persons
interested in serving are invited to become familiar with our organization
through talking with a current Board or staff member or attending a
Board meeting. For additional information or application please contact
Rob Pramann, PhD, Clinical Director and Board Secretary/Treasurer (Work
801-268-1564 utahssccc@aol.com), or
Michael Galica, Board President/Chairman (mike@galica.us)
or send resume and letter of interest to CCCU, 404
East 4500 South, Suite B22, Murray, Utah 84107-2776.
