Mission Statement: A threshold takes you from one place into another, when you’re about to start something new, leave something old, or are in transition – you’re also on a threshold.  As we stand at the threshold of learning we strive to be spiritual healers to those encountering a threshold in their lives.  This group seeks to inform and guide students on the education requirements, volunteer opportunities, current events, and work options in the chaplaincy field.
