Chaplain Certification and Training Process

How long did it take you to complete chaplaincy training?

Now that you have completed the training and board certification, has the career change been what you expected?

What would you say is the most gratifying aspect of your ministry? Also, Chaplain Paul, are you pretty much on call all the time.

Becoming a chaplain was something that appealed to me about 10 years ago. But somehow I got side tracked with obtaining my teaching license.

However, I have been counseling with female prison inmates for about ten years (adolescents and adults). I have taken some course work, but had not be able to to locate a chaplain training program that I could take on line while working.

How were you able to complete your program-online or on campus?
