Become an Ordained Minister
and Chaplain
GO AND BECOME A MINISTRY OF PRESENCE
Making A Difference Worldwide Since 2006
|
We are a licensing body organized as a fellowship of chaplains and pastors. Though some churches are under our banner, our primary focus is expanding the chaplain's role and responding to people in crisis. The chaplain provides a ministry of presence in times of grief and tragic loss. The chaplain steps outside the church's walls to minister to people during their darkest moments. The chaplain is a ministry that reaches into a person's heart and shares their life journey bringing them joy and hope and letting them know they matter.

Serving Christ through chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a gratifying and challenging ministry
Chaplaincy is a ministry that provides emotional and spiritual support to people and their families during difficult times. They journey with people during their darkest hour. Chaplains are highly trained professionals who provide emotional and spiritual support to people facing death and dying or build a spiritual rapport with people who may never set foot inside a church. Navigating these complex issues can be challenging, but it is essential to providing holistic care to people and their families when the need is the greatest.
Two Levels of Licensing. Find your level
Becoming a credentialed chaplain with Chaplain International is a decision that will benefit not only those who you serve but also yourself. CI credentials are provided to those with documented ministerial experience. Those who lack experience will be considered for the position of chaplain assistant for the first two years. Having the credential provides credibility and a confirmation of your qualifications, allowing you to be held in higher regard when you serve individuals who require spiritual counsel.
The benefits of CI credentialing?
We are not a member organization but rather a fellowship. When you become a chaplain, you become a CI chaplain you can start a CI ministry in the local jails, hospitals, EMS, and law enforcement or serve independently in the ministry using CI as your credentialing body.

Important notice: Unfortunately, we are forced to post this legal warning of counterfeit organizations and mills misusing our name for profit.
While there are many fine chaplain organizations to choose from, unscrupulous entities do what they do, for-profit and coattail off legitimate denominations and fellowships, misrepresenting themselves by using similar names, and stealing web content in an attempt to make their presence on the web appear legit. This notice informs the general public of organizations and credential mills on the internet misrepresenting themselves as Chaplain International, Inc. They do so by purchasing domain names that are similar or identical to CHAPLAINS INTERNATIONAL, such as www.chaplaininternational.com, www.chaplainsinternational.org, or incorporating Chaplains International into their overall name, rerouting web traffic to their domain for profit. THESE COUNTERFEIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH OR ENDORSED BY CHAPLAINS INTERNATIONAL, INC. or its affiliates, and we are not responsible for their misrepresentation or actions. WE HAVE ISSUED THROUGH OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT CEASE AND DESIST LETTERS TO THESE ORGANIZATIONS, some who have blatantly refused to cease use of the trademark name. We are the original Chaplains International founded in 2006 /501(c) (3)/, and our logo is a trademark.
