Chaplains

The Presbyterian Church in Ireland's chaplains are part of the mission and ministry of the Church and includes full or part-time chaplains: 29 in hospitals, 5 in prisons, 13 in the forces and 5 in universities and colleges – all of whom have opportunities to serve tens of thousands of students, patients, forces’ personnel and prisoners in Jesus’ name. In 2021 PCI's first rural chaplain was commissioned covering four of PCI's presbyteries. The Rural Chaplaincy is a pilot project for an initial three years.

In this section you will find the names of our chaplains and where they minister.
