Spiritual direction explores a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Simply put, spiritual direction is helping people tell their sacred stories everyday.  (Spiritual Directors International)

Terry Chapman, D.Min.

 In the thirty years I have companioned people on the Journey, as a pastor (Presbyterian Church, USA), friend, colleague and Spiritual Director I have discovered what truly makes my heart sing: creating and nurturing opportunities for people to discover and express stories of how they experience the Divine (and at times how they don't!).  It is a great privilege and joy to witness the transformation that happens when people discover that God is an active presence in their lives and begin to form language that describes the experience of God.

Because I believe that all lasting change is linguistic, embedded in story, I am passionate about engaging in conversations that explore life below the surface.  ​It is the authentic conversations that take place with friends around the kitchen table, the lunch room at work or school, or in the context of spiritual direction, that each person can bear witness in word and deed to God’s steadfast love and faithfulness.   For more information about Spiritual Direction contact me and/or visit Spiritual Directors International Seek and Find Page.   

My office is in Lanoka Harbor, NJ.  I also offer sessions online (using the Zoom video platform).
