Introduction to Workplace Chaplaincy
This online course consists of six evening sessions, over six consecutive weeks. Each session lasts 2 hours from 6:45 – 8:45 p.m. The next course will start on Tuesday 4th November 2025, and continue weekly, on Tuesdays until December 9th. We run the course two or three times a year, each time on a different weekday evening (either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday).
This seven-session course is designed for individuals or a group interested in the ministry of chaplaincy.
The resource can be used in groups of three to eight people. Beginning with the mission of God and ending with the practical details of who is going to do what and where; this material mixes deep reflection, individual and group exercises as well as practical resources to lead you to respond to your local community.
A resource for nurturing chaplains in the essential skills for their work.
The units have been written with new chaplains in mind, but those with more experience in chaplaincy work should also find ideas which will stimulate new conversations and new learning.
Chaplaincy Essentials is only an introduction and it is important to go on growing in our ministry as chaplains. There are a number of ways to do this and the suggestions here offer a few starting points for continuing exploration.
