The Chaplain Program at Hermitage House Youth Services has always been an important part of our residential youth programs. Chapel programming is optional and gives youth the opportunity to talk freely about faith and explore Christianity. Some of the services provided to our youth through the Chaplain Program are:

Weekly chapel services
Small group Bible studies
Discipleship/Mentoring
Transportation to local church services
Pastoral counseling
Baptism
Pastoral visitation in hospital and mental health
