Free & Fit - Building Chaplaincy within a City Environment
Free & Fit - Building Chaplaincy within a City Environment
In June of this year in 2024 I was ordained as Full Elder within the Free Methodist Church. The FMC has five core balayes which includes Love Driven Justice and Cross Cultural Collaboration. As an ecclesiastically endorsed Chaplain to the City of Charlotte North Carolina I have had the privilege of serving in various different third spaces including the Charlotte International Airport, Hospice & Home Elderly Care, Charlotte Lady Eagles semi-professional team and Carmel Baptist Varsity School team.
These all arrived at different times throughout my Clinical Pastoral Education which I completed this part year with 1600 Chaplaincy Residency hours and a four term credit process to complete my CPE training. These experiences have helped me to become a more physically, socially, mentally and spiritually aware pastoral care leader.
In Charlotte, we supported the Charlotte Lady Eagles to runners-up in their league and are now approaching the tennis. season with the Carmel Christian boys varsity team. We are also excited to announce plans to expand our Ministry at Charlotte airport and elderly care homes with additional services. Please pray for these new opportunities and for our team as we serve in these areas.
As 2024 concludes, heartfelt thanks overflow also for an unforgettable Varsity Soccer season at Carmel Christian School! Gratitude abounds for our parents' encouragement, staff's dedication, coaches' leadership, players' passion, and students' spirit. Serving as Chaplain and Goalkeeping Coach was an honor, sharing God's love with the team.
Psalm 107:1 reminds us, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever!" May God bless each player, coach, and staff member with guidance and wisdom into the new year. Thanks also to God for always supporting our sports ministry efforts – God's love shines through sports and third space communities!
Heading into 2025 I hope to build on these experiences including a summer camp at Liberty University, a Tennis High School Varsity season and more opportunities to build new networking and caregiving experiences to support, help and care for all types and backgrounds of people.
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
