Chaplaincy

Churches are not the only places that need pastors. Ordained ministers also serve in institutions whose primary purposes are education, international security, peacekeeping, incarceration, hospitalization, or profit. Persons serving in these unique settings are expected to have specialized training to qualify for endorsement from the United Methodist Endorsing Agency of the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry.
