Experienced Local School Chaplains Bring Hope & God to the Public School System

As an educator, it is your duty to give your students the best shot in life. You are there not only to teach academic concepts but to mold them and help them through difficult situations with wisdom and care.

Many schools do not provide spiritual and emotional care to their students. The NSCA will help you change that with their accredited school chaplains.

The NSCA’slatest program is designed to give your students a safe space to discuss their struggles at school and home. NSCA chaplains use prayer and scripture to help students overcome emotional and psychological problems.

Strengthening faith in a higher being has been proven effective in treating mental health issues like depression and anxiety. By giving your students a strong religious foundation, they can navigate through their emotions and free themselves from the burden of their problems.

NSCA chaplains are trained to handle issues that concern the youth, such as peer pressure, depression, and anxiety. They teach the youth lessons from the Bible and teach them how to pray and offer their struggles to a higher power. Studies have shown that this can be cathartic for those going through difficult times emotionally and psychologically, whether or not they grew up religious.

With more than 22,000 partner schools in over 23 countries, the NSCA has data to support the value of having school chaplains. They have reported increased graduation rates, school performance, and teacher retention. There is also a decrease in violence, behavioral issues, addiction, and teenage pregnancies.

Teenagers face pressures and expectations that did not exist in prior generations. The NSCA states that academic pressure is higher due to higher output demands and the more complex lessons students need to learn to get into the best colleges and universities. As they grapple with the demands of school, they also need to balance their personal life, which, with social media, has become more complicated. Having a chaplain who will guide them and provide a safe space where they can vent and express their emotions is important for their growth. It is also important that they feel supported, not only by the chaplain but by God and the scripture.

“School chaplain duties include but are not limited to prayer, counsel, and spiritual care for the school staff, the students, and their families. We offer counsel based on timeless biblical values and serve as a source of biblical truth. We help teachers and students navigate life’s challenges,” a spokesperson said.

When it comes to guiding and molding children to become the best they can be, the saying "it takes a village to raise a child" rings true. Adding a school chaplain in that "village" only makes your student body stronger, more resilient, and in a better position to overcome their own challenges.
