Unity of Phoenix Prayer Chaplains

In support of our mission and vision, Unity of Phoenix is committed to reaching out in prayer to comfort and support to our congregation. We invite you to prayerfully consider stepping into this powerful area of service for our ministry!

Completing Prayer Chaplain training and serving as a Prayer Chaplain is transformative soul work.  It is a unique service that differs from many of our other volunteer opportunities in terms of the level of commitment and responsibilities required.

This is one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have.  Many of our Prayer Chaplains report that they stepped in to serve others, but found that being a Prayer Chaplain blessed and benefitted themselves most of all!  It is a role that will help you discover your greatness and the greatness of others … and we will be here to love and support you as you take this next step on your spiritual journey.

Becoming a Prayer Chaplain at Unity has opened new paths and possibilities to my life. When I heard God’s call, I was hoping to help others define their relationships with God through prayer. Little did I know that my own personal relationship with God would blossom through the encouragement and leadership of other Prayer Chaplains and, even more, through the love and gratitude of our congregants.

If you only knew of all of the ways that this program will enhance and enrich your life, you would absolutely sign up for the next Prayer Chaplain enrollment. A few of the gifts include: fellowship, enriched prayer life, the joy of doing God’s work, laughter, a sense of fulfillment, moving to the next level of your spiritual path and personal support.

What is a Prayer Chaplain?

The role of our Prayer Chaplains is, quite simply, to pray. Chaplains are not counselors or advice-givers. The core of the Prayer Chaplain commitment is to:

  • Hold spiritual space
  • Lovingly listen
  • Pray from the heart
  • Hold in confidence what is shared

Unlike hospital chaplains, Unity of Phoenix Prayer Chaplains are not ordained and do not counsel people.  Prayer Chaplains are trained to do only three things: hold spiritual space, listen and pray.

Prayer Chaplains are not trained to “minister” to the community at large, but are fully prepared as a lay resource to help meet the pastoral care needs within our own Unity community.
