🚛 Are You Called to Be a Truck Stop Chaplain?

Truck drivers and travelers face isolation, exhaustion, family strain, spiritual hunger, and unexpected emergencies. Chaplains step into that world—not with a badge or siren—but with compassion, listening, Scripture, and practical care.

Truck Stop Chaplains may serve at truck stops, travel plazas, rest areas, fueling stations, loading docks, and along the road—offering encouragement, crisis support, prayer, and wise referral when needed. This program provides a clear pathway to chaplain ordination and clergy credentialing through the Christian Leaders Alliance, with training hosted through the Christian Leaders Institute.

The Truck Stop Chaplain Ordination Program is a structured, step-by-step training pathway designed to equip you with biblical, theological, and practical chaplaincy skills for ministry among truck drivers and highway communities. You will learn how to show up with wisdom in high-stress moments, offer Spirit-led comfort, and build trust through integrity and professionalism—so you can serve with clarity and confidence.
