The Rock Community Chaplaincy maximizes a network of chaplains for community impact to ensure 24/7 intervention services to community members who are experiencing a crisis. Rock Community Chaplains offer care to community members and/or to the chaplain's workplace co-workers and their families who may have personal and professional life challenges. This care is based on building nurturing relationships between chaplains and employees, providing a level of care and assistance that is not often experienced. All relationships are optional, permission-based and confidential, so the employee is in charge of the level of assistance provided and to what extent the services benefit. In brief, pastoral care is offered to people in the church; while chaplaincy is providing ministry care to people outside of the context of the church.
The Rock Community Chaplains are trained to offer a variety of interventions for care in the workplace or community at large. Services may include confidential crisis intervention, group interventions for trauma follow-up, critical incident team specialists, stress management consultation, professional and personal care giving, referrals of other professional agencies, training and education for employees and supervisors, employee/community/faith relations and programs and special events scheduled in response to needs which arise in the workplace.
