Spiritual

Development

The foundation of Predisan’s spiritual development work is our network of chaplains, serving our staff, patients, and communities.

Caring for Patients and Clients

For patients and clients, time spent at one of our health facilities is an opportunity to find spiritual as well as physical healing and comfort.

Whether it’s individual encounters through prayer and counseling, or hosting children’s worship at the Predisan Christian Hospital, our chaplains seek to connect with our neighbors and share Jesus’ Good News.

Supporting our Staff

We want to see our own staff experience the same sense of wholeness and flourishing that we desire for the communities we serve, which is why our chaplains also devote themselves to our employees. They have developed a staff-focused program that includes individual pastoral care, study groups, worship services, and an annual retreat.

Connecting with Communities

Building long-lasting relationships with communities often starts with the local volunteer pastor. By supporting these influential leaders through workshops, training, and resources, we seek to strengthen the communities they serve and develop trusting relationships bound together through Christ.

They also go out into the community, spreading God’s love with visits to schools, local organizations, and working with churches in the area.

Drop a thank you in comments for this visiting team from Arlingtion, VA!
