Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our Bakersfield Center for Pastoral Counseling provides pastoral counseling, peer support, and professional referral services in partnership with low-income individuals, families, and veterans in crisis to achieve their unique goals for whole health.

The Bakersfield Center for Pastoral Counseling has recently expanded its wide array of services to the rural towns of Arvin and Lamont. As an African-American veteran-led organization, we are also in the process of applying for funding through the GSA.

Nearly 20 years of ministry experience, 6 years of military service, and 3 advanced degrees in Pastoral Ministry, Systematic Theology, and Education have prepared our Presiding Bishop to rise to the task of leading the Ful Gospel Baptist Alliance into an effective future of serving "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40). We are partnering with experienced organizations and seeking the best volunteers and staff to continually enhance our capabilities.

Since 2013, the Bakersfield Center for Pastoral Counseling has provided pastoral counseling, peer support, and professional referral services to residents from Arizona to California. Our church was approved as a vocational training organization by the California Department of Consumer Affairs in 2015 (I-2848).

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
