"Quietly entering the inner chamber within the soul, shutting the door to the external thoughts of daily life, and seeking conscious union with God is the highest form of prayer we know."

Prayer is one of the most powerful processes in the world to heal, reveal, enrich, and uplift our lives. To support this practice, we have established a Prayer Chaplain Ministry. Prayer chaplains are trained by our minister to support your prayer needs. A prayer chaplain is available every Sunday after our 10:30 service to pray with you in our prayer chapel.
Additionally, we have created a Wellness Calling Program. Participants in this program are paired with a prayer chaplain. Your prayer chaplain will contact you once a month to support you with any prayer needs and will hold you in prayer daily. Should a need arise between contacts, you can contact your chaplain for additional support.

It has been both an honor and a privilege to serve as a Prayer Chaplain at UCPC since last year. I am reminded over and over that there is nothing greater than the love and the power of God, no matter how serious any given trial or tribulation may be. We are truly never alone. Connecting and working with my Unity friends in this capacity is a loving reminder of this Truth. I am blessed! Giving is receiving. Thank you and Amen.

I became a prayer chaplain as a way for me to serve the church in its effort to be in contact with all of the members. I wanted to get training in the art of prayer and be able to pray with and for others. I have found that folks respond to a moment of positive and loving conversation as well as--or in some cases, better than--any "prayer" that I have to offer.

Having come back to Unity church after a long absence, I found I needed to learn more about giving in prayer and being able to share and serve. The experience is a gift as I receive equally back what I share in prayer requests. I have found it to be an incredible blessing in my life.

Prayer works. For the last 26 3/4 years I have opened my prayer ritual with: "Dear God, if the ship hits the sand (a cleaned-up version of the original), please grant me the strength to not pick up a drink or a drug. I am then available for whatever comes my way.

I decided to become a prayer chaplain to be of service to others. Prayers helped me at my lowest. I wanted to do the same for others and to use this opportunity to also grow spiritually.
