Common use of Work Agreement Clause in Contracts

Work Agreement. In seeking help, you agree you will make a good-faith effort at personal growth and engage in the pastoral care process as an important priority at this time in your life. You agree that if you fail to do your work, or if you do not appear to be benefiting from the pastoral care, we may terminate the spiritual counseling relationship. The number of meetings depends on the type and severity of the problem, the amount of work you are willing to do and various other factors. It is customary to begin with one to three meetings then evaluate progress and investigate alternative resources. Do not be discouraged if you do not feel as if you are making progress as quickly as you’d like. Should you and the Pastor determine that you are unable to make sufficient progress after one to three one-hour meetings, you will be directed to a listing of qualified counselors for referral. You agree you will be responsible for paying the fees of any professional counselor or therapist. Children under 18 years old will not receive pastoral care without the written consent of their legal parent or guardian.
