New Chaplain to Support Spiritual Growth, Programs
The Summit recently welcomed Jacob Palma as the first chaplain for the Life Plan Community.
Palma will work with the Spiritual Life Committee to lead worship services and programs to support spiritual growth and also provide pastoral care for residents in crisis or transition. He will also be available for team members.
The Virginia Baptist Homes Foundation, the philanthropic arm of LifeSpire of Virginia, established the Spiritual Life Fund in 2019 to support chaplains and the ongoing spiritual development and faith- based programming in each LifeSpire community.
Palma has been busy getting to know residents and team members at The Summit. “Being able to care for and guide residents spiritually is what I love about being at the summit,” Palma said.
