NDCA membership believes that chaplaincy is a calling.
Instead of raising one above another, a worthy chaplain is featured rather than given an award.

Through the years the North Dakota Chaplains Association has recognized and a Chaplain of the Year much in the same ways other care disciplines feature or recognize an individual. It is a noteworthy and tremendous honor to be chosen in recognition for providing dedicated care. Those who have been blessed to experience such a recognition truly are grateful to share in this appreciated joy.
This year the NDCA is extending recognition to chaplains, pastors, ministers, and directors across the regions of the state in acknowledgement of their dedicated service in bringing spiritual care to residents and staff in care centers across the state. We are pleased to recognize the following spiritual care providers:
Region One (Williston): Administrator Belinda Moen advances recognition to Pastor Sheldon Sorenson, serving Bethel Lutheran Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and Arbor House, Williston. Congratulations, Pastor Sorenson!
Region Four (Bismarck-Mandan): Administrator Alyssa Maker advances recognition to Chaplain Scott Kilber, serving Good Samaritan Society, Sunset Drive, Mandan. Congratulations, Chaplain Kilber!
Region Six (Fargo): Administrator Amber Ludwig advances recognition to Bridget Dahlin, serving CHI-Riverview Place, Fargo as Director of Mission Integration and Spiritual Care. Congratulations Director Dahlin!
It is a true privilege to serve by sharing the Word of God and helping to advance Christ’s Kingdom within care communities. We approach this calling with humility and deep respect for those entrusted to our care.
With compassion and dedication, we share the message of hope and salvation with all who are open to receive it. In both life and death, there is no greater comfort than holding Christ Jesus in our hearts, He who takes away the sin of the world and brings peace to all who believe.
Thank you for allowing us to be a meaningful part of your care, supporting the whole person--body, mind, and soul.
“Truly, I say unto you, in as much as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.”--Matthew 25:40
