Our Philosophy
​
As a spiritual care organization, WCOA, firmly believes that spiritual care should be approached as genuine interaction, emanating from a heart filled with love, compassion, dignity, and respect. Beyond mere tolerance and vulnerability, our goal is to foster a sense of connectedness that leads individuals to a higher state of self-awareness and interconnectedness with others and the Creator.
As a multi-disciplinary team of chaplains from diverse faith backgrounds, WCOA strives to offer spiritual care that is effective and dependable. We are guided by the belief that each person seeking spiritual attention should receive care tailored to their religious and spiritual faith. Our aim is to engage with every employee client in a comforting and supportive manner, facilitating their journey towards improved self-worth, spiritual wholeness, and enhanced work productivity in the marketplace.

The Purpose of WCOA's Spiritual Care and Chaplain Workforce Support
​
WCOA aims to utilize the spiritual resources present in each individual's faith and tradition to seek healing and restoration. We recognize the importance of faith as a foundation for finding order amidst chaos and hope amidst despair. Our spiritual care services are ecumenical and interfaith, as we respect and honor each employee's religious and spiritual preferences. Participation in our programs and services is entirely voluntary, and we acknowledge and respect the right of employees to accept or decline our support.
