Psalm 41:1-3, Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; He will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; He will sustain him on his sickbed.

 

1. Basic Chaplain: There are no religious educational requirements to become a basic chaplain and minister. Basic chaplains and ministers in our opinion are God's people who feel they have been called and who have walked the walk in life and felt their own pain and suffering. Basic chaplains reflect God's Love and Mercy by showing Samaritan type kindness to others at all times. Basic chaplains get involved and reach out to those in need, or some times just lend a sympathetic ear.Click Here! to fill out application.

 

2. Registered Chaplain: The educational requirements to become a registered chaplain must also be the requirements of the agency or organization that they are a chaplain with. In many cases a registered chaplain is a chaplain that must show proof each year that they are registered and a members in good standing with the ordaining body that ordained them in order to keep their position. Many agencies or organizations today want to know that chaplains are being held accountable to their ordaining body and ministry for there actions, this applys for all chaplains on all levels.Click Here!
