Job Description:
ABOUT
The Navy Chaplain Corps boasts more than 800 Navy Chaplains from
more than 100 different faith groups, including Christian, Jewish,
Muslim, Buddhist and many others. Each Chaplain is also a Navy
Officer, meaning each holds an important leadership role.
Chaplains offer everything from faith leadership, to personal
advice, to much-needed solace - all while living up to the guiding
principles of the Chaplain Mission:
* Providing religious ministry and support to those of your own
faith
* Facilitating the religious requirements of those from all
faiths
* Caring for all servicemembers and their families, including those
subscribing to no specific faith
* Advising the command in ensuring the free exercise of
religion
RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Navy Chaplain, your job spans a broad range of duties. You
will support fellow servicemembers during their most joyful
moments, and during their most difficult. Your responsibilities
might include:
* Conduct worship services in a variety of settings
* Perform religious rites and ceremonies such as weddings, funeral
services and baptisms
* Counsel individuals who seek guidance
* Oversee religious education programs, such as Sunday school and
youth groups
* Visit and provide spiritual guidance and care to hospitalized
personnel and/or their family members
* Train lay leaders who conduct religious education programs
* Promote attendance at religious services, retreats and
conferences
* Advise leaders at all levels regarding morale, ethics and
spiritual well-being
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Navy Chaplains immerse themselves in the daily lives of
servicemembers. In what can be best described as a ministry of
presence, they are there to offer guidance and insight in the
moment, whenever they're needed. You could provide support while on
land or at sea, when presiding over religious ceremonies on a base,
or when conducting services from the flight deck of an aircraft
carrier.
TRAINING & ADVANCEMENT
Those pursuing a Chaplain position are required to attend Officer
Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI. Upon completion, they
attend a seven-week course at the Naval Chaplaincy School and
Center, also in Newport, RI.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and
based on performance. It's also important to note that specialized
training received and work experience gained in the course of
service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational
opportunities in related fields such as family counseling and
behavioral therapy.
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Navy Chaplains typically continue their education throughout their
careers. Opportunities for continuing education are available
through the Advanced Education Program while being paid full-time
as a Navy Officer. Beyond professional credentials and
certifications, Navy Chaplains can advance their education by:
* Pursuing opportunities at institutions such as Naval Postgraduate
School (NPS)
* Completing Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) at one of
the various service colleges
Also keep in mind: If you're in the process of starting or
completing your graduate theological degree, you could potentially
enter the Navy Chaplain Candidate Program (CCPO) as a student.
QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS
A candidate seeking to serve as a Navy Chaplain and Officer
must:
* Have a bachelor's degree from a qualified four-year undergraduate
educational institutio
n
* Have a graduate degree in theological or related studies from an
accredited educational institution (note that a qualifying degree
program requires no fewer than 72 semester hours or 108 quarter
hours of graduate-level work with 2/3 of those course hours
completed in residence; also note that related studies may include
graduate courses in pastoral counseling, social work, religious
administration and similar disciplines when one-half of the earned
credits include topics in general religion, world religions, the
practice of religion, theology, religious philosophy, religious
ethics and/or the foundational writings from the applicant's
religious tradition)
* Have two years of full-time religious leadership experience
that's compatible with the duties of a Religious Ministry
Professional (RMP) in their respective Religious Organizations (RO)
and relevant to the settings of military chaplaincy
* Must be able to obtain an Ecclesiastical Endorsement from a
religious faith organization registered with the Department of
Defense.

never served before.
