After being accepted and completing the Christian Chaplains and Coaching “Chaplains Academy” curriculum,  a person may become an Ordained Chaplain. These courses are offered to mature biblical protestant Christians who have a minimum of a High School Diploma.  All courses are offered on-line and taught within a Protestant Evangelical Christian worldview.  All Chaplains must complete at least 20 hours of CE per year, with the thought that “a disciple is a student who learns and applies so that they make continuous progress.”  Christian Chaplains and Coaching requires two courses for ordination and endorsement: 1. The Basics of Chaplaincy, and 2. Certificate in Biblical Counseling for Grief.  Kairos further requires a chaplain who serves as Clergy to take the Certificate in Prison Ministry within two years of ordination.  Serving in Kairos will fulfill some CE hours per Christian Chaplains and Coaching guidelines.

Our Certificate in Prison Ministry course is in development at this time. 

It should be available by June 2023.

STAY TUNED

Christian Chaplains and Coaching also offers courses to become "Board Certified Chaplain" for those people wanting to become professional board certified Chaplains. We also participate with several Seminaries offering a Masters Degree that includes our biblical approach to accredited Clinical Pastoral Education.

Our ministry has three divisions.

1. Chaplain Membership, which includes ordination and endorsement. Our credential is recognized and we are approved to provide ecclesiastical endorsement for the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Veterans Administration Hospitals.
2. Chaplains Academy, which provides continuing education courses.
3. Clinical Pastoral Education for those interested in professional Chaplaincy and Board Certification. We teach accredited CPE curriculum recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
