Here to listen and walk together
Walking in faith is a lifelong journey, and we are all in different places when it comes to our relationship with God. Creating safe spaces to ask big questions is a large part of what Chaplain Services provide.
Our Chaplain, Daniel Patstone, is not here to give quick answers. Rather, he invites students into conversations that explore faith and the incredible love of Jesus. “Every conversation is open-ended; we’re not trying to solve big mysteries in a 20 minute timeblock. Neither am I afraid to say ‘I don’t know…’, but will always follow up by saying ‘...but let’s look at that together.’”
Faith conversations, pastoral counselling, and simply connecting with students in the hallway are all part of what Chaplain Services include. Wherever they are in their faith journey, students will hear they are always invited, always wanted, always dearly loved by God.
A graduate of Regent College, Daniel Patstone has been a minister at Shelbourne Street Church of Christ since 2010.
