NEW MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS
To join the EOCPCA as a new member, you must download and complete
the NEW MEMBERSHIP application form from this website (at the bottom
of the page) and submit it for review to our Head Office in Burlington,
Ontario, Canada. You must also include payment in full for at least
a ONE YEAR membership with the organization in your chosen field
AND all the information required to verify your educational background.
For example, if you wanted to apply for a Lay Pastoral Counsellor
(LPC) membership with the EOCPC with a Bachelors' Degree, you would
need to complete the NEW MEMBER application form and send it with
a copy of your degree and a cheque or money order for the full amount
of a one year membership.
Make certain you review and agree with the STATEMENT OF FAITH for
the organization. New members must sign the application to affirm
that they share values based on a Judeo-christian moral foundation.
Please note that incomplete applications will not be processed and
that it may take several weeks for personal cheques you send (non-certified)
to clear the bank. Once the Membership Review Committee has verified
your educational background and considered your application, a decision
will be made regarding your application and you will be notified
by mail.
If you apply for credentials with the EOCPC but your educational
background is insufficient for that designation, you may be required
to UPGRADE your education. This can be done full time or part time
at an accredited educational institution of your choice. As a service
to our members, the EOCPC has formed strategic partnerships with
educational institutions whose standards met or exceed those required
by the organization. If you need to upgrade your education, please
make an appointment to meet and speak to the Head of our Membership
Review Committee, Dr. Stephen Hambly Ph.d. We would be pleased to
advise prospective members regarding their career path and suggest
options for skills upgrading that will ensure they achieve a speedy
and cost effective upgrading of their education.
MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
If you are an existing member of the EOCPC, you must download and
fully complete the MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL form at the bottom of this
page. Please note any changes to the fee structure for one year
memberships in the organization. Submit the completed renewal form
along with payment in full to the Head Office loacted in Burlington,
Ontario, Canada. If you have had a change of address over the past
year, please indicate this clearly on the renewal form so we can
update our records database. Existing mebers DO NOT need to sign
a Statement of Faith. If you have let your membership lapse and
you are a RETURNING member to the EOCPC, you do not need to sign
the Statement of Faith if you are reinstating your membership at
your previous designation. However, if you are applying for a membership
with credentials that you have not previously held with the EOCPC,
you must apply for a new membership. For example, if you had a membership
as a LPC, left the organization for a few years and you wanted to
return as a CPC, you would need to complete the NEW MEMBERSHIP form
and be reviewed for membership at this new level of membership.
However, if your affirmation of our Statement of Faith is still
on record, you do not need to sign it a second time.
If you have any further questions you need answering, please do
not hesitate to contact us. Acceptable forms or payment include
cheque, money order, and credit card (Mastercard and Visa). Do not
send cash. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for your new membership or
renewal to be processed.
