REV CHARLES
FABER, JR
Chaplain Pastor Spiritual Life Counselor
Every human hopes to be valued,
loved, and significant. In a fast paced
world it is possible for a human to grow
into adulthood without ever being
endowed with these rightful gifts.
As a Spiritual Life focused professional,
I hope to endow those in my care to
know this truth, I am somebody. I
matter. I have purpose and position.
With layers of human need, often the
physical, intellectual and social layers
get much of the attention while the
emotional and spiritual layers go
undeveloped, and undiscovered. Of
the many roles a Chaplain, Pastor,
Spiritual Counselor can play,
encouragement, cheer-leading, and
mentoring are vital. To support the
accomplishment of this is my life’s
goal.
