RT. Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Kwamina Abaka Wilson
Chaplain
The Office of the Chaplain holds the paramount spiritual jurisdiction over the 3rd Agona Swedru Companies, functioning as the foundational authority that ensures the entire combined body of Boys and Girls fulfills the Brigade's sacred Christian Object. This office is the church's direct representative, providing the essential moral compass and spiritual framework required for the development of all members, guaranteeing all activities align with Christian principles.
This mandate is discharged through the formal provision of spiritual instruction and guidance. The Office is responsible for cultivating an atmosphere where habits of reverence, discipline, and moral character are established among the Boys and Girls, accomplished by leading communal prayer, devotions, and religious education. Furthermore, the Office maintains the critical ecclesiastical nexus, guaranteeing the Companies are fully integrated into the life and worship of the sponsoring Church. Finally, the Chaplain's Office provides an essential mechanism for pastoral oversight and ethical accountability. This involves offering confidential spiritual guidance to the Officers and ensuring that sensitive counsel and support are readily accessible to every Boy and Girl within the Companies, serving as a trusted resource for personal challenges.
