Chaplaincy
What is chaplaincy? Our response is: “it’s a transformational movement set outside the walls of the traditional church!”  Chaplains are called to provide spiritual care through incarnational ministry of both word and deed to the distinctive communities they serve in.  Our chaplains perform a full range of ministerial services, including preaching and teaching, administering sacraments, officiating weddings and funerals, spiritual direction/life coaching, and providing the ministry of presence in both crisis and everyday situations.

​Chaplains provide pastoral care in a wide variety of community and government organizations including healthcare, Corrections Canada, emergency services, Canadian Armed Forces, communities, corporates, campuses, and more. Whether chaplains are full-time professionals or part-time volunteers, they are connecting with the heart of the community in a way that is redemptive and intentional.
