An experience of supported, healing and empowering prayer
....as they pray with you following our Sunday Services or on the phone.
A Unity Prayer Chaplain is someone who supports you on your spiritual journey…someone who will pray with you and for you.
A Unity Prayer Chaplain is someone who creates and holds a sacred space with you, lovingly listens to you, and holds what is heard in confidence. A Unity Chaplain is compassionate, available, nurturing, and accepting.
The purpose of the Prayer Chaplain program is to create a congregation that feels cared for and connected. It is based on God as our Source. God is the center, head and heart of all we do.
There is nothing quite as comforting as being lovingly supported during times of challenge or crisis or even celebration. It is always helpful to have a hand to reach out to, a compassionate heart to listen and understand. A few caring words can bring inspiration to nourish your spirit.
Unity Chaplains are NOT counselors, they don’t solve problems or judge. They simply hold a sacred space-- they listen, they pray.
Members of Unity on Greenville receive monthly "Wellness Calls" for a Prayer Chaplain. (Non-members may also receive such calls upon request.)

The purpose of the Prayer Chaplain program is to create a congregation that feels cared for and connected. It is based on God as our Source, and the unique Unity approach to prayer, positive Affirmative Prayer.
