OUR MISSION

To serve others in the name and through the power of Jesus Christ

OUR VISION

To reach people who because of circumstances are hidden or out of reach of most local churches


WHAT IS CHAPLAINCY?

     Chaplaincy is the most effective means of reaching secular society because there are times chaplains can go where the church cannot go. Chaplaincy provides many opportunities to extend the ministry of the local church beyond the "four walls" of the church facility.

     There are seven major areas of ministry in chaplaincy: (1) healthcare, (2) pastoral counseling, (3) law enforcement, (4) corrections, (5) military, (6) corporate/industry and (7) disaster relief. Each of these areas of chaplaincy provides opportunities for full-time, part-time, and volunteer participation of ministry oriented persons. Each of these categories of chaplain ministry also provides the opportunity for the local church and its staff to extend their ministry into the community that may otherwise be closed to them.

     Christ modeled worship and ministry.  Christ's ministry was beyond the walls of the synagogue.  He was in the secular rather than sacred setting.  The majority of His three years was spent in hands-on-ministry in the community among the people.

     The presence of chaplains in the midst of crisis and tragedy is making a difference. Chaplains may be paid or volunteer people who are willing to adventure the "second mile" journey in ministry.
