CHAPLAINS
Chaplaincy groups or first year groups in year 1, help to set a vision for gospel ministry and foster fellowship, theological reflection, group skills, prayer, personal support, mission and accountability. All students are linked to a College chaplain and Year Advisor. In conjunction with a male member of faculty each chaplaincy group is co-led by a female chaplain.
