Have you considered a calling within a calling?  Then Navy Chaplaincy may be for you.

As a Navy Chaplain, you will nurture the spiritual well-being of those around you.  Living with them.  Working with them.  Eating with them.  Praying with them.  Understanding their needs and challenges like no one else--in a ministry that is truly 24/7.  

Whether you're beginning your career as a faith leader, wanting to expand your ministry, or hoping to take it in a new direction, the Navy is a great way to follow your calling.  There are both full-time and part-time service options available.  

In the process of starting or completing your graduate theological degree?  If so, consider entering the Navy Chaplain Candidate Program (CCPO) as a student.  As a CCPO, you'll be commissioned as a Naval Officer while you finish your theological studies at your accredited seminary or graduate school.  And through the program, you'll receive on-the-job training under the direct supervision of a Navy Chaplain.

It's your chance to see Navy Chaplains at work and to experience the challenges and rewards of working in the diverse situations the Navy provides.  You may go to the Fleet, shadow Chaplains on ships, or have hands-on ministry opportunities at places such as Walter Reed National Military Medical Center or Naval Base San Diego.
