While some people think of families and kids when talking about a chapel, Chaplain (Capt) Randy Croft of Shaw Air Force Base wants to focus on single servicemembers:

“We want to help strengthen single airmen and soldiers, and support strong resilient, spiritually fit singles so they can do their mission really well,” Croft said.

Though he is a religous leader, Chaplain Croft reiterates the military position that “spiritual” does not necessarily mean “religious:” 

“When I say spiritually fit, for some of us that includes our religious faith, but not for everyone,” Croft said. “Spiritual fitness deals with those questions; why does life have purpose? Why does it have value? Why do I get out of bed in the morning?”
