The Unity Prayer Chaplains participate in a comprehensive annual training program to prepare them to serve our congregation through prayer.

As they maintain a personal prayer life, the Prayer Chaplains:

  • acknowledge and call on the presence of God
  • lovingly listen
  • pray from the heart and hold in confidence what is shared

Prayer Chaplains are available on Sundays to pray with anyone who requests prayer and during the week via a telephone call to the church. Each member also receives a monthly wellness call from their assigned chaplain.

The Prayer Chaplains contribute to our church community by providing a confidential, calming, sacred space for prayer.
