As the university's chaplain, I understand your concerns and fears as you enter new surroundings and begin more risky steps within life's journey. It is my hope to be made available for the special needs, counseling, and spiritual support you may want or need while you are connected with the BVU community. I would like to make myself accessible as support and as a resource person for the emergencies or crisis situations that may arise for you or others at BVU. Please feel free to contact me whenever you feel the need. I pray the spirit of compassion and hospitality will always be offered as a gift to you through the Chaplain's Office.
