Finding your path into spiritual care & chaplaincy
Free Live Information Session
Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a chaplain?
There isn't one path.
For some, chaplaincy is a natural next step after years in ministry. For others, the calling comes before the credentials. Your spirituality shapes how you care for people, so people turn to you in difficult moments.
You know there is something here you want to pursue — but you also have a job, a family, and a life you can't simply put on hold while you spend years preparing for a new career. Advancement might mean getting just enough to enter the field, then continuing to build your education, clinical training, and credentials as you grow.
Open to anyone curious about chaplaincy — no background or affiliation required.
Pick a time that works
A 15-minute presentation, then questions for the rest of the hour.
The Information Session
Come with questions. Leave with a clearer sense of your next step.
Join us for a free live information session. We'll spend 15 minutes helping you understand what chaplaincy training actually involves, the different ways people enter the field, and what various certificates, degrees, clinical training programs, and credentials are really designed to do.
Then we'll open the conversation for your questions — and talk through where you are right now, so you leave knowing the right next step for you.
What to Expect
A 15-minute presentation, then questions for the rest of the hour.
We keep it simple on purpose. Most of the hour is reserved for whatever you're wondering about.
The Presentation
A short, honest presentation laying out the chaplaincy landscape — major organizations, training, credentials, settings, and what each step involves. Enough to orient you, not overwhelm you.
Your Questions
Then we take questions for the rest of the hour — bring whatever's on your mind. We'll talk through your situation and point you toward the program or training piece that fits where you are right now. If the answer is "not yet," we'll say so.
The goal of the hour is simple: by the end of it, you should know your right next step — whatever that turns out to be.
The Path
Wherever you're starting from, there's a way in.
Part of the hour is figuring out which of these you're standing at — and what comes next from there.
Just Curious
You're exploring whether chaplaincy is even the right fit. We'll talk through what the life and work are really like.
Ready to Begin
You sense a call and want to start. We'll clarify the first training unit and what it requires of you.
Already Serving
You're in healthcare, ministry, or care work and want to deepen or formalize your spiritual care skills.
