Organization: The United States Army Position: Chaplain Candidate (full time or part time) Job Description: The United States Army is in need of highly-qualified applicants for the position of "Chaplain Candidate." As a Chaplain Officer you will have a ministry to men and women in uniform spanning the globe. Your ministry doesn’t stop there. You will not only minister to Soldiers, but their families as well. You will be a preacher, teacher, counselor while also serving as an Army Officer. The Army Chaplaincy differs from that of traditional ministry. The focus of the Army Chaplain Corp is to have “A Ministry of Presence”. Unlike traditional Pastoral ministry you will “go to work” everyday with your Soldiers, giving you a unique opportunity for an unparalleled depth of ministry, to the men and women who give their lives to serve the United States of America. Serving God as a Pastor, Rabbi, Imam, or Priest will require you to develop your ministerial skills in seminary and make application of those skills among the community of the faithful. The Army offers the opportunity to learn pastoral skills that will enhance your seminary and pastoral experiences. The Active Duty Army offers a plethora of benefits unrivaled in the civilian world, such as paid vacation, comprehensive medical care, retirement plans, life insurance, and more. While attending seminary, Chaplain Candidates may apply for tuition assistance through the U.S. Army Reserve. You may be eligible for up to 100% of the tuition costs, up to $250 per credit hour with a maximum cap of $4500 per year. This program requires service of at least four years in a U.S. Army Reserve unit once you become a qualified Chaplain. You do not need to wait until ordination to join the Army Chaplaincy. By joining the Army Reserve Chaplain Candidate Program, you will get a head start on Army Chaplain training, as well as all the benefits of being an Army Officer while still in seminary. Few job opportunities of this nature exist for those who have not yet garnered their Masters-level degree. To be eligible for this program, you must: Obtain an ecclesiastical approval from your denomination or faith group; Educationally, you must: Possess a baccalaureate degree of not less than 120 semester hours; Be a full-time graduate student at an accredited seminary or theological school; Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; Be able to receive a favorable background check; Pass a physical exam.
