WHAT WE DO

SPIRITUAL CARE

Although not a comprehensive list, it is helpful to see the type of care engaged in by our Chaplains and Chaplain Assistants.

  • Prayer for whatever your needs might be
  • Bible study on biblical topics
  • Answering questions about the Bible
  • Companionship in times of distress
  • Exploring solutions to life or family problems
  • Discussing issues such as loss or death
  • Exploring what it means to be a Christian
  • Baptizing believers on request
  • Intermediary in family or marital conflict
  • Providing visits to hospitalized neighbors
  • Help in connecting with a Bible study or church

For these, or any other need you have, use the "Contact Us" email form and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

PHYSICAL NEEDS

Have a physical need? You may have a need occur without a way to meet it on your own. You may be injured or ill and need help getting things done at home that can't wait until you have recovered. You may need someone to drive you to a doctor's appointment. You may have a new baby and could use some meals brought in. Whatever your need, we want to help you meet it by making them known to the neighborhood anonymously on the neighborhood Facebook page and facilitate connecting you with offered help. Certainly for some things you will feel comfortable making your request known directly, however, there are times a person will ask for needed help only by remaining anonymous.

For needs related to food, utilities, or financial help, check out these Berkeley County RESOURCES. Neighborhood Chaplains does not supply direct help for these physical needs.

For these, or any other need you have, use the "Contact Us" email form and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

Our mission is enhanced by development of new volunteer Chaplains and Chaplain Assistants as well as recruiting Support Staff. To this end, we offer periodic training opportunities to those seeking to serve others in this way. To be a Chaplain Assistant requires meeting the following criteria:

  • you have a strong desire to provide spiritual  care
  • you agree to a basic set of Christian beliefs
  • you agree to abide by the ethical standards of the Association of Professional Chaplains
  • you have an endorsement letter from your church leadership OR references attesting to Christian character
  • you submit to a criminal background check and have no felony convictions 
  • you have some basic training in spiritual care (this requirement can be met through training offered by Neighborhood Chaplains)
  • you have been approved by the Chaplain you will assist

Acceptance as a Chaplain requires the additional criteria of being ordained, and having an endorsement from a Chaplaincy organization.

If you desire to be considered for a volunteer position as a Chaplain, Chaplain Assistant, or Support Staff, please APPLY HERE to start the process.
