"Creating
A Healing Community"
13-Session Intensive Weekend Workshop
The
workshop, which serves as the basic training course
for Lifeline Chaplaincy pastoral care volunteers, focuses
on listening skills, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills.
It is recommended for chaplains (lay and professional),
ministers, church leaders, and others who provide spiritual
support to the seriously ill, their families and caregivers.
Application has been made to the Association of Professional
Chaplains for 1.7 continuing chaplaincy education (CCE)
credits for APC member chaplains.
The
training consists of thirteen hours in a classroom setting
(see the current schedule on the right). The ultimate goal
of training is to help one develop skills that will allow
him or her to effectively minister to others throughout
his or her lifetime. For those who wish to minister in a
hospital setting, an additional orientation workshop and
10 hours of visitation with an experienced Lifeline Chaplaincy
volunteer is required.
