More to share
Prayer Chaplains Are
A Prayer Chaplain is a member of Unity of Fairfax who has accepted a mission to provide prayer support to the congregation.
The most noticeable role people recognize as a Prayer Chaplain is seeing them pray with congregants after church service on Sundays.
In that role of praying with others, a Prayer Chaplain is someone who will call on God’s presence and create and hold a spiritual space. They will lovingly listen to them. They will always pray from the heart space. Most importantly, what is shared will be held in confidence.
Prayer Chaplains Are Not
Prayer Chaplains are not ordained and are not trained to counsel people, solve problems, or provide advice.
They are not trained to go out and minister to the congregation or the greater community-at-large.
Prayer Chaplains are trained as a lay resource to provide pastoral care within the Unity of Fairfax church community.
Affirmative Prayer
Any discussion on the responsibilities of Payer Chaplains must include Affirmative Prayer.
Unity is often stated as “A positive approach to one’s spiritual practices”.
To affirm is a positive thought or statement, one must remove and release negative thoughts, and hold in consciousness thoughts of spiritual truth.
Prayer Chaplains use Affirmative Prayer to conduct their responsibilities as chaplains.
As in Unity, a combination of Affirmative prayer and meditation is how one may experience God’s presence and gain an awareness of truth.
Becoming a Prayer Chaplain
The prayer ministry is always looking for those who feel called to serve as a Prayer Chaplain.
It is a rewarding spiritual experience for the prayer chaplain and for the individuals with whom they pray.
Prayer chaplains raise the prayer consciousness of Unity of Fairfax. As they interact with congregates in multiple events, they receive the same awareness within themselves.
