CHAPLAINCY The chaplaincy program exists to prepare students to represent the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the religious judicatory to which they belong, in the pluralistic workplace. Chaplains can be found in the military, healthcare, prisons, residential treatment centers, churches, business settings, campuses, rescue missions, airports, malls, parachurches, and with first providers and sports teams, among others. Similar to missionaries, chaplains take ministry to others rather than wait for people to come to them, so the placements are ever-expanding. The chaplaincy concentration in the MDiv program prepares future chaplains for ordination, endorsement, certification, and credentialing for any and all forms of chaplaincy. Courses emphasize the importance of being grounded in one's own Christian faith and traditions without compromise, while being respectful of a pluralistic clientele and cooperative in a secular setting.
