You do not have to be a pastor…anyone who has been called to serve in a ministry can become a chaplain! As an IFOC (International Fellowship of Chaplains) chaplain you will have training in areas such as: providing support to your schools, to youth, to pastors/churches, a minister in hospitals, nursing homes, to the handicapped, as a first responder, and more. Wherever the Lord has called (or is calling) you to serve in our community, chaplaincy training can enhance your ministry.

The training includes but is not limited to: stress management; depression/suicidology; domestic violence; grief and loss; Critical Incident Stress Management; Post Traumatic Stress Injury; human trafficking; death notifications; disaster preparedness, Chaplaincy, and the Law, and more. When you complete the training, you can choose to use the knowledge informally, or, you can choose to be a licensed Chaplain. You can also choose to be a licensed and ordained Chaplain. (Extra fees apply for the licensing process.)

Save $50 if you register before February 14.
