Rock Community Chaplains is a ministry to 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 caring 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.
The Rock Community Chaplains offer a variety of interventions for care in the workplace. 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. Whatever the scope of each family's situation or concerns, Rock Community Chaplains have a network of qualified and caring outsource providers that are available for assistance. The Rock Community Chaplaincy commitment is to serve a minimum of 10 hours per month in service to an area of community need.
The purpose of the Rock Community Chaplaincy ministry is to recognize equipped and called men and women to fulfill their chaplaincy role during individual or community crises within the mission and vision focus of the Rock Church. This ministry is designed to provide appropriate and compassionate care to people affected by a traumatic situation. Chaplains will be sanctioned to serve in their place of employment and/or for the San Diego community at large.
