Multifaith Chaplaincy Services

Our volunteer Chaplains support Unitec students and staff of all faiths, as well as those of no particular faith. Our Chaplains are non-judgemental of personal lifestyles and are there to assist everyone.

What we offer

  • A confidential listening presence and support for everyday matters, or for times of transition, stress or crisis.
  • Informal discussions about issues of faith and life.
  • Prayer/ worship on campus and a connection with other local worshipping communities.
  • A chance to participate in interfaith events like The Week for World Peace.
  • Opportunities to connect with other students and staff who are interested in faith/ spirituality and to participate in Spirituality Week.
  • Resources for reading, listening, and reflection.
  • Unitec Christian Staff Network and connections to Faith-based Clubs at Unitec.
  • Oversight for the Muslim Prayer Rooms and Multi-faith Chapel.
