Welcome to Promise Christian University's Chaplain Training Program
Always Ready to Serve
The Chaplains Training Program was initiated in 2007 at the request of the United States Volunteers Joint Services Command to train their Christian Chaplain Volunteers. Today our Program offers a Christian Biblical Based course as a foundation to the Work of a Chaplain. This training prepares traditional Christian men and women for the work of a Chaplain. Students must have a recommendation from their pastor to enroll in this course.

All About Chaplains Training
The First Office of the Chaplain was initiated by General George Washington
In July of 1775 the Second Continental Congress with the urging of then Colonel George Washington to institute the first Military Chaplains in the Continental Army. Today the ministry of the chaplain has grown beyond that of military service, to hospital, hospice, police, fire, corporate, and to volunteer organizations such as military auxiliary groups, churches, and government chaplaincy.

Certificate of Chaplaincy
Consists of three courses
Chaplains Training I
Introduction and history of chaplaincy. It covers all areas of chaplaincy and why deciding to serve as a chaplain is a very high honor. Many military chaplains have been awarded the Medal of Honor for heroic service at the risk of their own lives. Chaplaincy is a brotherhood of men and women who are committed to serving others. This famous stained glass window is in the chaplain at the Pentagon where the plane struck on 9/11. You will revisit their story as it is the heart and soul of the Ministry and Work of a Chaplain.
Chaplains Training 2 - Pastoral Care
This class allows the student to learn about the ministry and caring side of chaplaincy. Chaplains are caregivers, encouragers, and comforters. You will learn the basics of Christian Bible based caregiving and have ample opportunities to visit real life stories and discussions in class.
