Degree Title:	Master of Religious Education Chaplaincy
College:	Liberty University
Description:	Liberty University’s Master of Religious Education - Chaplaincy 60 hour degree program prepares you to become a military chaplain or servant leader. You will be trained to be a wise, faithful steward of the gospel, and develop specific ministry skills, strategies, and Christian character traits relevant for successful ministery in a military or institutional chaplaincy setting. You will examine the theological and cultural issues relevant for formal and informal chaplaincy settings; and also observe the similarities and differences among the various types of chaplaincies, giving careful attention to ministry in religiously pluralistic, multicultural, and multi-staff environments. These settings may include service as a military chaplain, or in corrections/prisons, geriatric/eldercare homes, emergency response arenas, hospitals, and workplace/industrial settings. The military has numerous chaplain positions that go unfilled each year, and the need for Christians who are passionate about ministry and compelled by duty to their country is greater than ever. Military chaplains are commissioned military officers, and each branch of the military has chaplains who serve in Active Duty or in the Reserves. Serving in a chaplaincy role represents a positive response to God’s calling to serve in a rewarding and fruitful ministry. Liberty Theological Seminary is proud to participate in the training of those called by God into military service.
