On a daily basis more than one hundred thousand people pass through Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.  These are people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, and experiencing a range of emotions.  Among all these people are those who are facing concerns or problems in life, and are in need of help or an encouraging word.  The airport chaplaincy, which began at Schiphol in 1975, is an essential source of support in such cases.  Its purpose is to assist any individual present at Schiphol - passengers as well as airport-based employees - with a fitting response to their emotional and spiritual needs.

The chaplaincy consists of a team of three chaplains and 25 voluntary co-workers of differing backgrounds.  Together they provide for a place of rest where people of all nationalities and identities are welcome.  They offer pastoral and spiritual care at the heart of society.
