Chaplains serve in a number of ways:

The process of becoming a Prayer Chaplain:
All new and returning chaplains must attend one of (2) scheduled orientation meetings. Agree to attend all prayer chaplain training sessions. Be willing to sign a commitment form indicating the intention to serve for one 12-month period, agreeing to attend scheduled monthly meeting sand an annual mid-year retreat.
