Military Chaplains
Their platform is camo and sweat. My people look into my eyes and ask big questions like, “Where do I find hope?”
​Chaplains are ever-present in the lives of the retired and active-duty men and women they serve. Because they are held to the same rigorous standards, chaplains become trusted military family members. Recruits turn to chaplains for encouragement and guidance as they adjust to military life. Officers of all ranks confide in chaplains during times of crisis and question, allowing chaplains a powerful place of influence among those who serve our country. Routine duties: lead worship services and Bible studies, teach classes on morals and ethics, counsel and support military members, represent Christ to all cultures and religions, and serve in settings as diverse as the military presence worldwide.
​Armed Forces Reserves/National Guard
For a chaplain interested in part-time ministry with military personnel, the Reserve and National Guard branches are a perfect fit. Chaplains have the opportunity to speak Christ’s message to those serving our country and continue to lead another career at the same time.
Routine duties: counsel Reserve and National Guard members, lead in Bible studies, serve with unit during national emergencies, represent Christ to all cultures and religions. Train with unit for two weeks each year, meet with unit 16 hours a month.
Veteran Affairs
Veterans face unique challenges due to the sacrifices they have made for our country, and chaplains play a crucial role in providing support. Chaplains offer guidance and point to the comfort and peace of Christ for those coping with physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual struggles. They act as pastors within VA hospitals, providing assistance to patients and their families.
Their routine duties include leading worship services and Bible studies, conducting funerals, offering counseling to veterans and their families, leading marriage and family classes, and serving as a liaison between VA hospitals and the civilian community.
