The Truck Stop Chaplaincy Training Course is a free, one-module online ministry training designed to equip volunteer and part-time chaplains to serve truck drivers, trucking families, and truck stop communities with wisdom, compassion, and Christ-centered presence.
This course prepares chaplains to minister effectively in truck stops, rest areas, highways, and mobile environments, where long hours, isolation, family separation, crisis, and spiritual fatigue are common. Students learn how to provide spiritual care, prayer, relational support, crisis response, and ethical chaplaincy presence in places where traditional church access is limited.
Grounded in biblical theology (WEB translation) and informed by Ministry Sciences, this training emphasizes people-smart chaplaincy—ministry built on trust, listening, integrity, boundaries, and relational wisdom rather than pressure or performance.
A unique focus of this course is helping chaplains develop a Soul Center Practice—a repeatable pattern of prayer, listening, Scripture, and care that creates spiritual stability for truck drivers even in a constantly moving world.

This training focuses on faithful presence and multiplication, so the light of Christ continues traveling long after the chaplain moves on.
