Spiritual well-being is all about sharing in the journey of life and the human experience. Although our roots are in the Methodist faith, we welcome all and celebrate and participate in many faiths and traditions.

Our residents lead interesting lives and come from various denominations of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Unitarian Universalism—and those who are wary of the word “spiritual.”

Together, we share in the special gifts that warm the spiritual core—love and abundance, perspective and reflection, new experiences and acceptance, comfort and support, peace and joy—for all who live here, their families and our team members.

Chaplain Kristin Rinehimer gets to know people on a personal level, regardless of tradition, to help strengthen what lies at the heart of their lives. 

Whether she’s leading traditional ministry, a lively group discussion on social justice or providing comfort on a day not so bright, she’s here to help build, foster and support relationships.

Chaplain Kristin is an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA). She’s trained in interfaith chaplaincy and is board certified with the Association of Professional Chaplains. She maintains strong relationships with local clergy of many faiths who regularly join us to lead services and participate in programs and support groups

Duvall Chapel here on the Newbury Court campus is a place for regular worship, individual meditation and prayer, and religious observances throughout the year.

A blend of traditional and contemporary architecture, the chapel features beautiful stained-glass windows and marble altar stone baptistry from First Methodist Church in Lynn, Massachusetts. When the church was decommissioned in the 1960s, these inspiring relics were generously donated to Newbury Court.

The stunning stained-glass windows were created circa 1915, each of which was paid for by a member of the Lynn congregation in memory of a loved one.
