I/O Frequently Asked Questions
What is a chaplain?
Webster's dictionary defines a chaplain as "a member of the clergy officially attached to a special group." In the Assemblies of God, a chaplain is a person called by God to reach a particular group of people in a specialized setting with the love of Christ.
Where do chaplains minister?
The Assemblies of God currently has chaplains ministering in jails, prisons, juvenile facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, hospice centers, truck stops, rodeos, race tracks, rescue missions, airports, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency medical services, industries, businesses, schools, sports arenas, motorcycle rallies and mental health facilities. We continue to expand into new areas as God leads.
What do chaplains do?
Chaplains perform a variety of functions depending on their ministry location, but there are general functions common to all. Opportunities for evangelism, discipleship, and pastoral counseling, as well as the administrative duties of record keeping and scheduling of time and facilities are part of the ministry. In addition, preaching and Bible studies give chaplains freedom to expound God's Word in a variety of settings.
Are there openings for chaplains across the United States?
Yes. Many healthcare facilities are growing and establishing or expanding chaplaincy. Growth in state and federal prison populations means correctional chaplaincies are also growing. In addition, settings in industry and specialized ministries offer opportunities to reach people who are not normally touched by the gospel. For qualified and dedicated men and women, there are unlimited possibilities for chaplaincy ministry.
How can I find a chaplaincy position?
