Prayer Chaplain Training
2008

Would you like to deepen your connection to God and enrich your prayer life? Once a year, we offer the opportunity for congregants to receive Prayer Chaplain training. Chaplains make a commitment to serve for one year. No previous experience is required. The training is comprehensive; we will teach you everything you need to know with lots of opportunities to practice.

As Unity Prayer Chaplains, we hold spiritual space, lovingly listen, pray from the heart and hold in confidence all that we hear. We do not fix, judge or counsel. We stand with others in joy or sorrow, experiencing the healing grace and love of God’s Divine Spirit in each person and in every situation.
