The modern day ministry of Chaplaincy

‘Going out’ into the ordinary places - to share God’s love!

We have a vision to ‘saturate’ entire city centres with chaplains, who support and reach many 1000s of people, working directly in multiple organisations, businesses and communities.
We’re motivated by our Christian faith to offer a non-judgemental, listening ear to anyone who needs it. We’re passionate about the opportunity this provides to GO into environments the church can’t reach.

A R E   Y O U ?

Whether you’re just dipping a toe or you’re ready to jump in, we are here to help on your chaplaincy journey.

Here’s the plan:

The Course

Through our training course ‘Exploring Chaplaincy’, you’ll gain an understanding of the modern day ministry of chaplaincy. During the course, we will explore how chaplaincy differs from other ministries, the theology of chaplaincy and the practical application of what chaplains actually do.

Mentoring

Designed to focus on your personal development and growth, our bespoke person-led mentoring programme is customised to your needs and will help you to increase your capability and confidence over 6 sessions.

Coaching

Our bespoke 12-month programme to help you to establish new innovative chaplaincy solutions, with a focus on pioneering, strategic thinking and leadership.

Exploring Chaplaincy: The Course

Explore the new modern missional ministry, that reaches into places that the church just can’t reach.

I’m interested

  • If you’re wondering if chaplaincy could be for you or your church, then ‘Exploring Chaplaincy’ is for you.

    We’ll provide an introduction to the modern day ministry of chaplaincy, look at how it differs from other ministries, the theology of chaplaincy and the practical application of what chaplains actually do.

  • We’ll meet weekly on Zoom for 7 weeks. The final session of the course is a ‘1:1 Next Steps Call’ with the tutors to discuss your specific situation and to help you identify the next steps in developing your chaplaincy ministry.

    Alternatively, if you’d like to host us at your church or centre, we can facilitate the course in-person over 2 consecutive days. If you would like more information about this option, please get in touch.

    Session 5 – Presence, Prayer and the Prophetic

    Session 6 – Resilience

    Session 7 – Pioneering Chaplaincy

  • Church is about family, and we’re here to support each other and build connections. The course is very interactive and you will build relationships with other chaplains as we learn together. You will also be given access to our closed Pioneering Chaplaincy Facebook Group where you will be able to get support and encouragement from other chaplains.
