Police Chaplain Ordination Program Course
Christ-Centered Presence • Policy-Aligned Care • Chain of Command
Are you called to bring Christ-centered pastoral presence into the high-stakes world of law enforcement?
A Police Chaplain is a volunteer or part-time minister who brings Christ-centered presence, prayer, and spiritual care to officers, staff, families, and sometimes community members in crisis—always with wisdom, professionalism, and respect for policy and chain of command.Program OverviewProgram Type: Ordination Program Course
Format: Self-paced • Guest-accessible
Focus: Police chaplaincy, spiritual care, officer and family support, and policy-aware ministryCourse Overview
A Police Chaplain serves officers, staff, and families—and may also assist community members in crisis—through pastoral listening, Scripture, critical-incident support, grief care, marriage and family encouragement, and quiet spiritual leadership.
Police chaplaincy is ministry inside a chain of command. Chaplains operate under department policy, clear boundaries, confidentiality guidelines, and professional expectations—not as “fixers,” but as faithful witnesses of Jesus who strengthen the soul and steady the team.
The Police Chaplain Ordination Program is a structured pathway that equips you with biblical, theological, and practical chaplaincy skills and provides a clear route to ordination and clergy credentialing through the Christian Leaders Alliance.
