Institutional Chaplains
The Alliance Southeast chaplains are a specialized group of individuals trained to address the spiritual and emotional needs of people in a wide variety of service sites - hospitals, nursing homes, hospice, state and county correctional facilities, police and fire departments and marketplace.
Institutional chaplaincy is one of The Alliance's most dynamic, effective means of reaching hurting and disenfranchised people. Those who service in this capacity receive specialized training and possess unique skill sets that equip them to engage with "unchurched" people.
Chaplains in many ways become the face of Jesus to those who might not see Him in another human being. The chaplain's calling is best summed up in the works of an Old Testament prophet:
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified."
-Isaiah 61:3 (NKJV)
