Lionheart Chaplaincy exists to equip and embolden men to live out these words with courage and integrity.
Starting as a volunteer endeavor in 2022, the reach of this Langley-based ministry has grown organically to serve two particular groups of men:
Junior level athletes:
Currently serving the Langley Rams (CJFL), Langley Rivermen (BCHL), Langley Trappers (BCHC), and Richmond Sockeyes (BCHC) by:
Inspiring and equipping athletes for the game and rest-of-life with weekly or biweekly talks about identity, character, teamwork, and influence.
Providing personal guidance, wisdom and care for individual athletes as they navigate the pressures of sport and emerging adulthood
Facilitating opportunities for athletes to serve and lead in the community
Creating spaces for athletes who want to explore and grow in faith
Men in Addiction Recovery
Currently Serving Wagner Hills Farm Society by:
Teaching weekly classes on identity, faith, and meaning
Developing relational connections with men in the community to provide holistic care (personal, emotional and spiritual)
Inspiring men for faith and life with biblical messages throughout the year
What started as a volunteer role with a single team is growing organically due to need, and impact. This a niche opportunity- and Lionheart Chaplaincy is bringing specialized leadership and care to the highest level of athletes representing Langley, and to men seeking healing, freedom, and transformation.
Your support and partnership are what's needed to carry the Lionheart's mission forward, stepping further into these spaces of need and opportunity, and seeing men embody what it means to keep guard, stand firm, act like men and be strong!
