Dwight Cumbee was Executive Director, with a Board of Directors made up of local ministers. Another ten years passed before we changed our name to Triangle Pastoral Counseling, a name we felt would more accurately reflect to the community our mission in the Triangle. Since our birth in 1975 the Center has maintained continuous certification as a Service and Training Center of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. In addition, in 1979 we affiliated with the Samaritan Institute, an international organization of pastoral counseling centers. That same year we purchased our first home after 24 years as renters, moving into an office condominium at 312 W. Millbrook Road in Raleigh.
Silver is the color of experience.
The silver in the hair of some of our counselors is a reminder that Triangle Pastoral Counseling has, in its 25 years of experience, learned a lot about the ministry of pastoral care and counseling to our many faith communities. Again and again we have learned how much we are enriched by the many streams of tradition, wisdom and discipline that flow into our life and work. Again and again we are reminded that pastoral counseling is truly a unique blend of spiritual and scientific understanding, a ministry that weaves together the best of modern insight and ancient wisdom. We continue to be committed to sharing that unique perspective and gift with all who seek us out, and we work hard at removing any barriers that might discourage anyone from doing so. We welcome with gratitude all who support us in this our anniversary year.
