CPEI Membership
CPEI membership offers professional connection, continuing education support, selected publication access, Cadres, resources, and opportunities to stay engaged with a growing spiritual care community.
Membership Value
CPEI membership connects members with professional resources, continuing education opportunities, peer support, and selected publication access that can support spiritual care practice throughout the year.
For many members, the value of included professional publication access alone may exceed the cost of annual dues. Membership also supports connection with CPEI’s broader work in education, credentialing, and professional development.
Questions about membership benefits, subscriptions, renewals, or member access may be directed to CPEI through the Contact page.
CPEI membership includes benefits designed to support learning, connection, professional development, visibility, and ongoing formation.
