Chillicothe VA Chaplains using new app to connect with community - Chillicothe Gazette

Chillicothe Gazette  |  USA Today

CHILLICOTHE — The Chillicothe VA Medical Center Chaplains have unveiled a brand-new mobile app.

Greg Schmalfeldt, service chief for the Chillicothe VA Chaplains, said it was time for his service to implement this technology due to the nature in which the community accesses religious services.

"Using the Chap app allows anyone with a media device to connect us with their journey of faith," Schmalfeldt said. "We are offering the opportunity to connect 24/7, no matter what is going on in your life. You can contact us directly through the app, and it's another resource to help grow your faith."

The "Chap App" offers a wide variety of benefits, services, and information to staff, veterans, and the community. Users will have access to the live stream of Sunday worship services, as well as a portfolio of previously recorded services. There is also a library of spiritual growth documents to help with daily devotions, advice, and guidance. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to submit prayer requests, as well as ask questions directly the chaplain team, according to a news release.

Religious services are all about community, and Chaplain Schmalfeldt believes this can truly be a tool to bringing that community closer together.

"This app opens new opportunities for veterans and community members alike to grow their faith," Schmalfeldt said. "It gives us a unique opportunity to connect with our veterans locally, as well as across the nation."

The "Chap App" is available for download for free on the Google play store and the app store. Just search "Church App Live" and follow the prompts for Chillicothe.

Chaplains are also available in person, for weekly services on Sunday at 10 a.m. in the Quinlan Chapel, located on the Chillicothe VA Medical Center campus.
