Welcome to UrbanRevs online training! We live in an ever complex and challenging world.

I have been impacted and inspired by the urban model of Chaplaincy Training that Cam Butler has developed and designed over many years. It has been field-tested and has proven to be an effective redemptive tool to reach people with the love and mercy of Jesus where they are. We have adopted the Urban Chaplaincy model as the training tool to equip our community chaplains. I highly recommend Urban Revs training as an effective tool to reach people in public spaces with the good news of Jesus.

Community Chaplaincy Overview

Many people incorrectly disqualify themselves when it comes to serving Jesus in the world they live in. Either, they think themselves not qualified, not suitable, or not authorised. They might say, “That’s not my role…” or “I don’t know how to…” or “I’ll wait for my church to lead the way…” Meanwhile, God’s kingdom and will coming to our community is subsequently disadvantaged. Who the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are and your relationship with God.

This course is an introduction to the UrbanRevs Community Chaplaincy training. It is for those who want to become a Community Chaplain. It provides the biblical foundation for the Urban Revs Community Chaplaincy model. It is the introduction to the Level 2 Urban Chaplaincy Certificate.

Who is Community Chaplaincy for

UrbanRevs is for every authentic follower of Jesus.
It’s for people who want to be effective chaplains. Recognised or, unrecognised.
It is both a paradigm and a lifestyle wrapped in a simple set of training modules for everybody who eagerly desires to live out the kingdom of God powerfully and effectively in their workplace, their school, club, community, and business. Those who want to understand God, humanity, their place in the world and how it all works together.
In fact, UrbanFevs sees every follower of Jesus as a type of urban chaplain! A community ‘God-person’ – taking responsibility to shepherd their community towards Jesus.

What you will learn

You will learn how to take responsibility for your community, to be heart-ready, to listen for meaning, and grow in confidence to pray for and with people effectively. You will learn ‘how to’ invite someone to respond to Jesus.
You will learn ‘what to say’, when to declare God’s truth, how to speak to the heart and mind of a person.
Finally, you will learn about the pitfalls of serving Jesus in the community – and what to avoid and what to focus on. You will begin to deeply appreciate the 18 guiding principles of community influence that every follower of Jesus and urban chaplain should know for effective ministry and living.

Iam a Aged care Nurse. I studied at Ridley College and received a Graduate diploma in Bible and Ministry in 2003. From the beginning my heart was drawn to these elderly people whomi encounter day by day and I have witnessed their struggles in loosing their homes and in some cases sadness of separating from loved ones. When it’s come to Palliative care I have the privilege to hold their hands at their dying moment. I was able to walk with them in their dark valleys, fearful and anxious moments and point towards their Hope Of Glory. My desire and passion is to fan in to flame their faith and encourage them to have a personal encounter with their God. Every place I have worked I was able to have church services and Bible studies and I was amazed to see how hungry they are . Thank you for Community Chaplaincy Introduction course and i have taken valuable information to shape my life as a pastoral care worker. As I listen to your teaching I took time to reflect upon myself and knew what improvements I need in certain areas in order to best reflect the Love of God. When a diamond is transparent and free from flaws, it is highly valued and precious. God’s calling is such and my response is use me, I’am available.

Strong learning experience due to long- experienced and devoted Instructor Rev. Cam Butler. I have learned incredible amount about this Community Chaplaincy issue, and it’s hands-on forthright and honest Christ centered method. True it will take some time and faithfully- continued devoted effort, however Christ-sharing results are worth it to do work for The Lord and share his caring for people to those people in thier time of need. As He instructed us to do. No hesitation giving 5 Star rating. I know this approach can have positive results due to my own past ‘on the job’ approach and methods, quite successful, being Inspired to be very much the same. Bravo

The Community Chaplaincy course will help me in my role as pastoral care volunteer at a local nursing home. It has also convicted me that I need the same compassion as our Lord Jesus, and to recognize the opportunities available to shepherd people in my community. Thank you team!!
