When we think of religious vocations, we picture pastors, priests, imams, and rabbis. But what if you’re called to serve outside a church or mosque?
Enter the Chaplain
Chaplains serve in hospitals, the military, prisons, schools, and workplaces—offering spiritual care, comfort, and a calm presence in life’s hardest moments. They pray with patients, listen to grieving families, and bring peace where it’s needed most.
And it’s working. A national study found that 90% of Americans say chaplains are caring, wise, and helpful.
Faith Facts Research Director Ryan Burge explains how chaplains are making a difference across the USA.
