Objectives

The Gatwick Chaplaincy provides chapels and resources for different faiths in both the North and South terminals:

1. A place that is always open, affirming all the faiths at the airport.
2. A place set apart for individual prayer and meditation.
3. An oasis of tranquillity and quiet in the rush and stress of work and travel in today’s hectic airport environment.
4. A chaplain available for anyone – traveller or staff – facing emotional crisis who need personal guidance and counselling.
