CHAPLAINCY MINOR
Minor Only
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 objectives of the
Chaplaincy minor are to enable 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.
