The Online Master of Arts in Military Chaplaincy degree will provide a solid biblical and theological underpinning as well as a balanced training in leadership, counseling and intercultural studies. This Master’s in Military Chaplaincy online will provide foundational training that prepares individuals to become a military or Veterans Administration chaplain in 72 credit hours.
Unlike the Master of Divinity in Chaplaincy Studies, this chaplain degree does not require biblical language training.
The following types of students are encouraged to consider this program:
- Those already having had several years of vocational ministry experience who desire further theological study in order to be better prepared for a chaplaincy role.
- Students desiring additional theological study for their particular field of ministry.
Course Overview
This course will examine how to counsel people who encounter negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, guilt and fear and help navigate these issues from a biblical perspective.
In this course the belief systems of major religions are studied with a view to understanding why the tenets make sense and drive behavior for the adherents. How each religion affects the host culture and how the culture affects the religion will be explored.
This class will examine how to journey with others in the midst of their questions and pain. Instead of trying to fix others in pain, soul care attempts to incarnate the presence of God in the life of another and allow God to use you to be his hands and feet.
