Chaplains

• A Place to Grow and Serve

  I'd heard stories that military chaplains were "liberal," and that “real” Christians shouldn't attend chapel.

  Because of the patrol rotations, a chaplain may find himself preaching at multiple services to accommodate his soldiers. This is the life of a field chaplain.

  Certain events in life give us a new and tangible appreciation for the power of prayer.
