    The Licensed Ministry Chaplain is a clergy role with 18 credits of ministry training and six mini-courses. This training program provides you with the necessary skills to serve as a licensed ministry Chaplain. The Licensed Ministry Chaplain is licensed as a clergy member, equipped for the duties of a licensed minister and the duties of a ministry chaplain, including conducting weddings and funerals.

  • Ministry Training

  • Activity One: Submit your Recomendations

    The Licensed Chaplain Minister is a ministry clergy status at Christian Leaders Alliance. While we can observe your academic readiness for becoming a Licensed Chaplain Minister, we need to have your calling confirmed by those who know you. We ask for at least two endorsements. 

    You must obtain an endorsement from someone who has observed your Christian character. It can be from:

    • A ministry leader or a Mentor Minister
    • Your spouse or a friend if unmarried
    • non-family member that knows you and respects you. 

    These two endorsements are essential for your credibility as a Licensed Chaplain Minister.

    Update: Please enroll in the Endorsement Level Class (click here) to submit these assignments. Once you complete the assignment in that course, you will receive the checkmark needed on your Guidance and Credential Panel. You will only need to complete the second assignment in this course, where you will upload both your endorsements at once. 

  • Activity Two: Update Your Profile

    Your student profile will become your publically posted clergy profile at the Christian Leaders Alliance Directory. Your well-written profile communicates your competency and confidence as a clergy member. Please upload a quality picture as well.  As a licensed chaplain minister, government officials, Care Facility Officials, other ministers, or parishioners will potentially look you up to confirm that you are licensed clergy. 

    Your profile will be assessed when your recommendation is evaluated and given a pass/fail grade. Please proofread your profile.
