The Office of Pastoral Planning is pleased to offer numerous new resources for PCA Groups and parishioners. The Office of Pastoral Planning provides advocacy and leadership for developing healthy, vital, sustainable parishes that are appropriately staffed and resourced to serve the needs of the People of God into the future. It collaborates and assists in the work of diocesan consultative bodies, and engages each in creating a vision of the future life of our parishes.
