Chaplaincy Services has received positive responses to three of their six workshops presented so far on their track title, Local Churches Making a Difference in Life’s Vulnerable Places. Chaplains from all areas of ministry are coming together and sharing stories and experiences. With intentional direction given to exposure at the local church level, chaplains are making a difference in the lives of individuals as a response to the recently released emphasis of making Christlike disciples in the nations.

If you have seen the Making a Difference emphasis on certain t-shirts, you have seen some of the seminary and chaplain candidate volunteers giving back to the church what it has received. Chaplaincy Services targeted these individuals to work specifically with university students who have come to the conference desiring an area of ministry intentional in authenticity and relevance. The workshops have been designed to address the post-modern world and its ramifications on ministry systems. Chaplaincy Services yearns to be the presence of the incarnational Christ to all people groups in various populations, including prisons, hospitals, workplaces, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, military installations, and any place where caring for the integration of spiritual well-being is recognized.

The regional chaplain coordinators came together for their annual meeting prior to the start of M7. These coordinators facilitate communication with Nazarene International Headquarters in meeting the needs of their chaplaincy constituents on the nine educational regions in the U.S. and Canada.
