FREE WEBINAR: Chaplaincy as a Mode of Mission
What if mission looked more like supporting people than preaching?
Across the UK, thousands of people will never step inside a church building. Yet many are open to conversation, care, prayer and spiritual support when someone shows up with humility and compassion.
That’s where chaplaincy comes in.
Chaplaincy is a powerful expression of the Church’s mission, being sent as a faithful presence into everyday spaces where people live, work, struggle and search for meaning.
In this webinar, discover how chaplaincy is enabling Christians like you to walk alongside the hurting, the lonely and the spiritually curious. Bringing the presence of Christ into places the Church often struggles to reach.
What you’ll learn
- Why supporting people is a powerful form of Gospel witness
- Understanding chaplaincy as incarnational ministry
- Why chaplaincy reaches people who wouldn’t normally engage with church
- How to listen well and walk with people patiently
- Whether God is inviting you to train in chaplaincy
Who this webinar is for
This session may be for you if:
- You feel drawn to serve beyond the walls of the church
- You sense a pioneering call on your life
- You feel a pull to serve in places like hospitals, schools, foodbanks, sports clubs or workplaces
