 During the college journey, a student's spiritual outlook and understanding of God may be challenged. To help students during their faith struggles, LaGrange employs a full-time chaplain.
Our chaplain is an ordained United Methodist minister who is available to persons of all faiths to help them sort out and make sense of out life crises. The Chaplain provides support and counseling for students, faculty and staff members in times of crisis or transition. Through worship programs, group activities, and community service, the Chaplain invites students, faculty and staff members to further their own religious development and explore their faith.
The chaplain serves as spiritual advisor to students, faculty, and administration. The chaplain is responsible for providing and supervising all aspects of religious life on campus, which include: community worship and prayer; advising and coordinating the activities of student religious groups.
In all the chaplain does, the goal is to help students, faculty and staff members discover for themselves the values and ideals that they hold most dear and to make sure that those views are fully examined and rooted in the two great commandments of loving God and neighbor. Because of this, much of the chaplain's work is done in talking and listening to people for questions on matters of life, family, God, spirituality, personal crisis, and religious faith on campus and in the world; offering liturgical/sacramental services; rituals to mark life's transitions; assisting faculty and students with personal crises and God's call for their lives, and addressing pressing moral, ethical and theological questions.
