The Health and Community Chaplaincy Committee oversee Presbyterian staff and volunteer chaplains in hospitals, the police, prisons, and universities across Victoria. We also employ a staff worker to minister to the wives of those in parish ministry.
PCV Ministry Wives’ Chaplain: Kellie Davis
We recognise that women whose husbands are providing parish ministry, face unique challenges and stresses that are often beyond the pastoral care capacities of their Sessions.
Kellie’s chaplaincy is available to all women whose husbands are employed within the PCV in paid parish ministry, or are in training for such a role.
This includes the wives of home missionaries, licentiates and ministry candidates, as well as ordained ministers in paid parish ministry. This means Kellie is available as a chaplain to around 100 women.
The working arrangements
Kellie is employed for three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9.00AM to 5.00 PM (excluding public holidays).
Kellie’s contact details are:
Phone: 0493 393 800
Email: kellie.davis@pcv.org.au.
Please support and pray for Kellie as she provides chaplaincy to ministry wives throughout Victoria.
