What is Chaplaincy?


Chaplaincy is a way of connecting the ministry of the church to the everyday needs and experiences of people, wherever they are. One of the hallmarks of chaplaincy is that the role is recognised as such by the host institution, in this case a school or college.

In their relationship with the school or college the chaplain is more than just a visitor, there is a sense of belonging, of being part of the educational institution. They therefore bring a unique combination of skills insights and ways of working that enrich the life of the people and the place where they serve.


There are many ways of serving a school or college as chaplain.
