There are many faith groups represented here in the Infantry Training Brigade.  The Unit Ministry Teams provide worship to as many soldiers as possible during their time of training here on Sand Hill.  With the variety of faith groups represented it would be impossible to meet each denominational need, therefore we encourage the soldiers to get involved in one of the following services.

• Collective Protestant

• Catholic

• Collective Pentecostal

• Lutheran/Episcopal

• Latter Day Saints

• Jewish

• Muslim

Chapel attendance is not mandatory.  Soldiers are not forced to attend any service, but they are encouraged to practice their faith.  Going to the chapel services is one way to do this and is a great break from the battalion each week.  It is a chance to meet with other soldiers who are like-minded in their faith. 

Not only is chapel a great time to praise and worship the Lord, it is a time for soldiers to recharge and renew their spirits.  It is a time to draw strength and encouragement from soldiers who are completing the training as well as encouraging those who are just getting started.

Soldiers in training here on Sand Hill will not always have the opportunity to attend chapel services.  Towards the end of their training soldiers are out in the field for a week long FTX (Field Training Exercise).  Since the soldiers are not able to attend chapel services during that time, the Unit Ministry Teams take the services to them.  Field Services are a great way for soldiers to get a feel for what their worship time may be like during a deployment.
