God calling you into ministry?
Serve your community as a Chaplain
The role of a chaplain is two fold: your are an ordained minister, but you are working for a secular employer serving the spiritual needs of their people.
The United States government first deployed this model during the days of General George Washington who established the role of "chaplain" and funded the chaplain's employment with tax dollars. The first week America's new government was operational they affirmed and codified the job of Chaplain.
Today chaplains are needed in corporate life, hospitals, sports teams, first responders, assisted living and many other venues. If you are a preacher looking for employment, how many churches might hire you within a 10 mile radius of your home? Now, how many secular groups might hire you as a chaplain? The market is much larger for a chaplain.
We believe this emerging paradigm is an open door for sustaining ministers and their families
