Training

If you would like to talk about opportunities to train as a chaplain please contact Chaplain Dan Lovin.

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.
