WHAT IS A CHAPLAIN
A chaplain is someone who is there for you on the front lines or in dark and helpless times, to support you to find light, courage, and faith in a power beyond yourself, whatever your personal spiritual or religious beliefs.
As a chaplain, I provide a space where people who are facing the unimaginable or stuck in a place they don’t want to be can find light and refuge from the storm — a place to pause and figure out where you are, what is happening now, and how to move through what you are facing with faith (however fragile that faith might be).
When I worked as a professional chaplain, I was paid by a healthcare system, and money was never even a thought between me and the people I served. Today, I offer chaplain services at no charge for people in crisis or suffering from a recent disaster — physical, emotional, or spiritual — as if they were patients and families in a hospital or hospice setting.
I continue to do this as a truly free gift of God with no expectation of payment. This might last through several visits or sessions. Donations are happily received to help cover expenses, but they are not expected or necessary.
