Chaplaincy

I offer that the first work of spiritual care in crisis is grief and loss work. Thus, the title I’ve given this reflection: Lament and Leadership in the Ashes. 

In March, CRC chaplains gathered for updates from Chaplaincy and Care, including activities, challenges, fundraising information, and the September Chaplains Training.

Military and other CRC chaplains may use these as they obtain permission for continuing education and travel.

Here is the schedule for the Chaplains Training 2020 Conference, taking place September 24-26 in Grand Rapids, MI. All CRC chaplains are welcome to attend!

In February 2020, chaplains gathered to talk about women in ministry. Join the conversation and check out resources shared!  

Chaplains encounter crisis and trauma on a regular basis in their ministries. Check out some of the key takeaways and resources shared in our December meeting. 

Steve Agler, John Luth, and Israel Alvaredo are three of our newest endorsed chaplains. Read about them and their ministries!

Why do chaplains need to renew their endorsements? Learn about why we do this, and what steps you should take to renew your endorsement.

CRC chaplains recently gathered to discuss Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), Death with Dignity, and other legislation going into effect in Canada and several states.

In the past few months, Chaplaincy and Care Ministry has endorsed four new chaplains: Sea Ho, Peter Janssens, Chantal Huinink, and Derrick Lee. Learn about the lives and ministries of our newest chaplains!

Chaplains Training has always been a great time for chaplains to learn, worship together, and reconnect with their denominational roots. In 2019, we saw some wonderful changes that made this event memorable.

“A Place of Grace” is strategic ministry plan for chaplaincy that reflects our values, mission and vision statements. At its heart chaplaincy is a healing, reconciling ministry of God, an expression and extension of God’s activity and mission in the world.
