You can find chaplains – lay or ordained – in schools, universities, shopping centres, airports, among farmers and in many other places where people live, study and work.
As a chaplain, you bring the gospel of Christ to where people are, so that it is heard in the wider world. In this, you mirror Christ’s own incarnational ministry.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God… And the Word became flesh and lived among us.” John 1:1-2, 14 (NRSV)
