Center for Integral Spiritual Formation
Formed for the work that calls you
CISF exists for a new generation of soul care leaders — those who hold space for others in hospitals, hospices, prisons, congregations, and communities.
Our Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs are ACPE-accredited, spiritually inclusive, and formed around the whole person. We do not separate your inner life from your clinical skill — we weave them together.
At CISF, you receive training that meets the highest standards of professional chaplaincy while honoring the interior journey of becoming a person of presence, compassion, and clarity.
Our Mission
To form spiritually mature, culturally humble, and clinically astute caregivers who can companion people through acute suffering and life's transitions.
ACPE Accreditation
Fully accredited by ACPE: The Standard for Spiritual Care & Education. Units earned meet all educational prerequisites for professional board certification (BCC).
Flexible, Accessible Format
Fully online-hybrid delivery with local clinical placement keeps rigorous ACPE formation within reach of working professionals, clergy, and volunteers alike.
