A strategic component of HUB is our team of trained chaplains.  HUB Chaplains are men and women who are dedicated to the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of those who are incarcerated, returning citizens, their family members and the communities they serve. A chaplain may be professional clergy or a layperson dedicated to serve outside the four walls of a church, most often in a volunteer capacity. Title: HUB Ministries Community Chaplain.
