Chaplaincy Certification Program

Chaplaincy is a calling and a powerful ministry. Chaplains serve in a variety of settings: Hospitals, jails, prisons, police departments, fire departments, denominational ministry, churches, military, crisis centers, team sports, athletics, corporations and counseling ministry. Chaplains serve an important role in caring for people in times of distress, trauma and natural disaster. Chaplains serve both in voluntary and paid capacities. To be effective, this requires a certain skillset.

The Chaplain Certification Program provides for basic and advanced training in necessary chaplaincy skills, taught by experienced chaplains with doctoral degrees.  Those that would benefit from this program include those interested in serving in the chaplaincy and those already serving as chaplains, looking to hone their skills.
