Rather than serving in churches, these chaplains are serving Baylor’s athletes on the ice, atop the turf in McLane and in the dirt of Getterman Stadium. A chaplain provides spiritual care for a person as well as reaching beyond that definition by preparing Bible and life lessons in and out of the arena.
Each chaplain designs a weekly or bi-weekly devotional for the team. They also reach out to their athletes and team members by asking for prayer requests, getting coffee or communicating through text.
Lynn, Mass., Graduate student Matthew Cole is the Ice Hockey team chaplain.
