Chaplaincy

Let’s Talk!

Email

Chaplains serve as ministry support for local churches and associations in areas which include healthcare agencies, corporations, prisons, public safety agencies, and the military services.

Chaplains are specially trained and equipped to support local ministry leaders in areas of evangelism, counseling, administration, and crisis. The aim of chaplaincy is to assist pastors in building resiliency and responding to suffering in our communities.  Chaplains provide a unique opportunity to multiple ministry capacity during hardship as they seek to ensure that churches are able to respond to emotional and psychological support. Chaplaincy is an extension of the local church reaching into our religiously diverse and multi-cultural society providing spiritual care to people.

Training

Illinois Baptist provides a number of trainings to equip chaplains in the state to serve in ministry capacity.  These trainings include disaster relief, critical incident and stress management, and others. 

Chaplain Endorsement

In some of the most emotionally intense and spiritually fraught circumstances imaginable, chaplains bring the light of Christ. Chaplains serving in communities, disasters relief, corporate settings, healthcare, and institutions can seek endorsement from the North American Mission Board.

The North American Mission Board on behalf of the Southern Baptist Convention, endorses and provides continuing education and support for thousands of chaplains across many mission fields in North America and beyond.

For more about NAMB’s endorsement process go here.
