Chaplain Academy
We live in a world with trauma, grief, and loss. It is easy to meet the physical needs of those going through a crisis, but what about the complex spiritual and emotional needs that arise?
Chaplains are skilled caregivers, ready to minister and bring comfort to those who are hurting.
They are agents of HOPE!
Crisis Response International is offering a three-week intensive academy that you have the option to attend all three weeks OR any week that you desire. (see below for full schedule)
Come get activated in compassion, go deeper in your proficiency and get involved with others who have the heart to change the world.
Our Chaplaincy program offers various credentialed designations for crisis deployment within CRI, and our training will help you minister wherever you go in life. We are now offering ordination for chaplains who meet the requirements, including involvement in our chaplaincy team, disaster deployments, and annual training. This will enable Chaplains to work in their local communities, hospitals, emergency services, etc. The full details of Chaplaincy Ordination will be rolled-out and explained during each week of the Chaplain Academy. We encourage all pursuing this to attend as much as you can as it will help you meet some of the requirements.
