Workplace Chaplaincy

Workplace chaplaincy has always been a pioneer ministry bringing authorised Christians, with a recognised role, into relationship with people with no church connections, offering pastoral support, engaging in conversations about meaning and bringing a specific faith dimension into secular structures.

Below are some downloadable leaflets which you may find helpful:

  • Workplace chaplaincy flyer  Designed to be suitable for placing at the back of churches, meetings etc., this leaflet offers some information for people who perhaps have never considered chaplaincy.
  • ‘Introducing chaplaincy’   This trifold leaflet develops some of the ideas in the above flyer and offers further information.
  • Lost your job?. A leaflet designed to be freely available to everyone in this situation – or who knows someone in this situation. This leaflet offers reassurance, useful contacts and practical help and ideas.
