Helping Pastors and Churches Begin their own Chaplaincy Ministries

Imagine if there was a way to share Christ’s love with hundreds or even thousands of people in your geographic area, bring new households into your church, strengthen your congregation’s financial giving, and increase your personal income, all at the same time. Imagine if there was a way to strengthen your preaching, enhance your church’s standing in your community, and lengthen your pastoral tenure. Imagine if there was a way to do all of this with minimal cost, virtually no risk and the realistic potential for exponential spiritual gains. Interested? Chaplaincy Consulting was created to bring those dreams into reality. Founded by Rev. Jerry Amstutz, who was originally ordained in the Missionary Church, Chaplaincy Consulting is based on the proven results of its sister ministry, Autumn Life. Providing chaplain services to five retirement homes in south central Wisconsin, Autumn Life has also averaged officiating for 95 funerals annually for the unchurched during the past five years, reaching approximately 7,000 people each year with the Good News. A bi-vocational pastor himself, Jerry is passionate about helping pastors who are facing challenging circumstances. To that end, he has authored the Local Chaplaincy Operational Manual, a 125-page description detailing how to organize and begin your own chaplaincy ministry, as well as giving practical advice on retirement homes and funerals for the unchurched. Paul Robbins, who is retired after serving as the President/Publisher of Christianity Today, and whose roots are also in the Missionary Church, gives this endorsement: “With 10,000 baby boomers retiring daily, the aging, un-churched population numbers reveal unparalleled growth. For those called to minister to this ‘society of seniors,’ the Local Chaplaincy Operational Manual is the best comprehensive guide and start-up kit combination to be found. Based on practical experience, as well as proven results, this local chaplaincy guidebook is a must have ministry resource for the bi-vocational or semi-retired pastor. I heartily recommend it as an effective ministry tool.”
