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
