Abstract

The role of spirituality has become increasingly important in the field of social work, especially when considering a holistic approach. Religion and spirituality are used to guide beliefs and actions and give meaning and purpose to life. This research, situated at an Evangelical Christian University, explored why it is critical for practitioners to be spiritually equipped when working with those in need and their perceptions of the importance of faith to practice and identity. This study identified seven themes: how spirituality assists practitioners in dealing with information and events in the social work field and the importance of spirituality in providing strength, hope, guidance, self-preservation, a positive example for clients, and an opportunity to share the love of God. This research contributes to the future of social work education. Keywords: Faith Integration, Social Work, Spirituality
