Meet Shore’s Community Chaplain  

Bouncing out of bed most days, keen to get on with his ministry, Nick Foord has worked as Shore’s Community Chaplain for 14 years. His role centres on supporting our current parent community, as well as Old Boys and staff.

The parent community and Old Boys often see Nick as the face of weddings, baptisms and funerals in the Shore Chapel but a large part of Nick’s role involves private, behind the scenes work across many areas including mentoring, pastoral care, marriage counselling and hospital visits. If needed, he also connects community members with specialists in mental health and other support services.

Nick loves to help people understand the Christian faith more clearly and conducts courses such as ‘Christianity Explained’.

Boarding families are often in contact with the Chaplain via phone or email but Nick also visits current families and Old Boys in Sydney, regional areas and interstate. Nick considers sharing the ‘ups and downs’ in people’s lives as a privilege and is here to help love, support and care for our community.
