What Is The Keystone Center?
The Keystone Center for Care and Education, Inc. was founded on a conviction: those called to care for others need more than compassion and good intentions. They need biblical understanding, practical knowledge, spiritual maturity, and the skills to respond wisely to the complexities of human suffering.
Keystone brings these essential elements together through thoughtful education and preparation, grounded in Christian faith and a commitment to excellence. We believe that when those called to serve are well prepared, the quality of care offered to others is strengthened.
Preparing Those Called to Care — Throughout the World
A world where broken hearts are healed and captives set free.
Our Vision
We envision a growing worldwide community of biblically grounded, compassionately trained pastoral care practitioners who bring hope, understanding, and skilled ministry to wounded individuals, families, churches, and communities across cultures and nations.
Our Mission
The Keystone Center for Care and Education exists to equip those called to serve others through biblically grounded education, spiritual formation, and practical preparation, cultivating excellence in ministry and strengthening the quality of care offered to individuals, families, churches, and communities throughout the world.
The Keystone Center’s vision extends far beyond
one person's ministry or one geographic location.
It is a commitment to multiply the number of people equipped to offer wise, compassionate, hope-filled pastoral care wherever God calls them to serve.
Leadership and Stewardship
