Purpose and Objectives
The Chaplaincy minor develops foundational knowledge, skills, and abilities that are essential to the professional
field of Chaplaincy as a stand-alone ministry and distinguish it from pastoral and missional ministry models. This
program also creates a foundational platform for future development of chaplaincy competencies.
Students will develop a basic understanding of chaplaincy as it applies to workplace ministry from a professional
ministry context. They will explore the role of the chaplain in institutional and organizational settings and will
develop a basic understanding of church ministry and administration, pastoral care, world religions, ethics,
leadership, and spiritual concerns as they relate and apply to chaplaincy.
In addition to the mission statement, general objectives, and requirements of the bachelor’s degree, the Chaplaincy
minor enables students to:
•
Develop a basic understanding of chaplaincy ministry in institutional/organizational settings.
•
Develop a basic understanding of pastoral care as applied in chaplaincy.
•
Build a Christian ethical foundation that is used in decision making and diplomacy.
•
Build foundational leadership skills needed to lead, influence, and model what it means to be a Christian
leader in the world today.
•
Build introductory administrative and church ministry skills that provide a basic understanding of how
chaplaincy is administered.
