Chaplaincy
Coming alongside life’s most vulnerable is the heart of ministry for the Chaplains at Westgate Chapel, whether we are traveling across the nation to aid in disaster relief, comforting brothers and sisters in our church body, or reaching into our local community to provide practical help.
Do you have a heart to come alongside those who are hurting and vulnerable? Read more below to find out how you can get involved.

Yearly Chaplaincy Training
Do you know how to respond to crisis & trauma within your family or your church or your community? Chaplaincy Training provides the educational foundation to equip Christians to respond when disaster strikes.
Once a year, the Westgate Chapel Chaplaincy Commission offers Community Service Chaplaincy Courses (Level 1 & 2) to provide specialized training to equip pastors, lay leaders, and interested volunteers for the challenges of ministering to people following a crisis. This forty-hour training will provide participants with five days of intensive instruction covering topics such as crisis response, critical incident stress, grief & trauma counseling, confidentiality, suicide, domestic violence, and the role of ministry outside the walls of the church. These courses are designed to equip willing hearts and hands with the tools necessary to minister to those in great need.
See our Upcoming Activities Section below to find out when our next training will be held.
Chaplaincy Meetings
After completion of the Chaplains training, members of the Westgate Chaplains team meet together weekly. We continue to learn and work together. This is were we receive information about how we can help the congregation, disaster trips, and other needs as they arise.
