A Planning Program for Use in Air Force Chapel Parishes
Abstract
This paper provides a proposed solution to a significant problem encountered in every chapel parish in the Air Force, namely that of using a system to develop programs which satisfy the existing spiritual needs on a local base. Before a parish can develop adequate programs it must first have a firm grasp of who it is and what its business is to be. Only then can it begin the process of need satisfaction. The first phase of the proposed program centers on the process of needs assessment, including the process of information gathering and prioritizing needs. The second phase concerns development and implementation of programs to satisfy the established needs including consideration of funding for such programs. The third phase consists of the process of evaluating the implemented program. This phase discusses the importance of accountability in the evaluation process as well as the importance of sharing program information with future programmers. The conclusion offers insights to today's planners in Air Force chapel parishes.
