Chaplaincy Program
Dr. Tom Vann, Director |
The Master of Arts in Christian Ministry - Chaplaincy Ministry Concentration is designed to prepare servant leaders with theological and practical competencies for chaplaincy service in diverse ministry contexts in the 21st century. This 72-hour degree will educate and equip persons for specialized ministry in institutional, congregational, and public settings such as: (1) the military, health care systems, correctional facilities, corporations, and industries; (2) disaster scenes and other catastrophic events requiring crisis intervention and spiritual leadership; (3) transitory population contexts such as airports, seaports, recreational venues, and national parks; (4) and special interest groups such as civic clubs and sports teams.
Why DBU's Chaplaincy Program?
A colleague in ministry once wrote: "Chaplaincy is the greatest story never told!" After 24 1/2 years as a military chaplain and nearly six years teaching students preparing for pastoral and chaplaincy ministry, I heartily concur. Chaplaincy is a unique calling for compassionate and caring individuals to minister to the spiritual needs of people in settings beyond the local church.
