Philosophy & Purpose

Although we are a Christian Organisation, our approach is to be available to any person in need or distress, irrespective of religion, race, gender, political affiliation or social standing. We are firstly, a ministry of "presence", rather than to "preach" to people. All our active members undergo comprehensive training, enabling them to deal with all kinds of people, without any prejudice.   


Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that human beings are created in the image of God as unique individuals with freedom to think, behave and feel.   


Also, believing the fact that human beings are created to be in relationship with each other, we promote the importance of being in community and respecting each person's boundaries.   


This community of chaplains is committed to value the personal, professional and pastoral gifts of each member.   


We assert that both chaplains and those served are in a continuous wholistic growth.   


Our purpose is to assist members with professional and pastoral support as they deliver pastoral care modelled after the Great Shepherd Jesus Christ.   


Our objective is to provide pastoral fellowship, professional certification and continuing educational opportunities enabling the chaplain to provide the best spiritual care possible.   


To summarize, we train, equip, place and support Christian volunteers as Chaplains, to assist people in all situations of physical, spiritual and/or emotional crisis. Our aim is to always have help available, wherever people are gathered together and to be able to provide in their immediate and long-term needs.
