About the Chaplain
The Chaplain offers students spiritual support and spiritual formation opportunities at Meharry. This includes helping students to develop their philosophical and theological beliefs and discernment. The Chaplain provides pastoral care services, programming, and spiritual leadership for the student body. The Chaplain also collaborates with local churches and other worship centers to expand and enhance the spiritual lives of the student body.
Meharry Faith Connect
Meharry Faith Connect is an outreach program through the Office of the Chaplain to promote community relationships with faith communities and provide more information about Meharry Medical College, its services and ways the College contributes to the community in these faith settings. Through Meharry Faith Connect the goal is to strengthen relationships with community partners, build new collaborations, and identify ways to expand the College’s services to the community.
The Chaplain will serve as an ambassador for the school visiting faith communities during worship times, spiritual formation activities, and other settings as by request of faith leaders or designees or as identified by the Chaplain and Director of Community Affairs.
There are four main goals for Meharry Faith Connect:
- Learn and engage the community Meharry serves.
- Maximize opportunities to provide information to the community.
- Eliminate health disparities through education and access to resources.
- Strengthen Meharry Medical College’s relationships with the faith community.
