Visiting Chaplains is a Partnership between Four Groups 1. People: God sends a Call for Gospel ministry to people. We employ these people: retired ministers, previous Military Chaplains, church ordained Elders, Bible College students, Pastors, church ordained Deacons and others who believe God has sent them a Call for Gospel ministry. 2. Colleges, Universities, Bible Education Centers People pursue faith based education because they believe God has something for them to do in their future. Some folks go to a four year university and then pursue a Master of Divinity program. A full M.Div. is required at a minimum for government paid chaplaincy employment. Visiting Chaplains does not have that requirement. We believe that if a chaplain candidate is pursuing faith based education within the expectations placed on them from the community of faith where they worship, then that qualifies them to pursue a roll as a chaplain within their community. Chaplains must be either finished or continuing to pursue their faith based education program as defined by the church where they are endorsed. 3. Endorsing Churches Chaplains working with our Clients on the Visiting Chaplains platform must have a letter of recommendation from the community in which they worship. 4. National Service Charity 501 (c)(3) In 2016 National Service Charity tried to launch a nationwide program of chaplains in the marketplace. That program never reached the goals the organization envisioned. In 2019 Visiting Chaplains LLC was approved by National Service Charity to relaunch that program under new technologies and relationships. Chaplains on this website undergo a thorough criminal background check and are interviewed by experienced chaplains at National Service Charity which runs the Board Certified Chaplain Program. Point of Information The Program run by National Service Charity only certifies chaplains from the Christian faith.
