Public 安全 Chaplaincy is the work of providing pastoral care and support to employees of first responder agencies and their families, 以及相关公共安全事件的受害者.
许多公共安全牧师都是志愿者, 虽然有些部门有带薪牧师的职位. The public safety chaplain should be a person who experiences a call to this particular ministry of service and sacrifice, offering themselves as a source of support to people whose daily work is often stressful and rigorous emotionally, 精神上, 和身体上.
The certification in Public 安全 Chaplaincy is designed to provide a thorough course of training for those desiring to serve as a public safety chaplain. The curriculum covers the breadth and depth of the topics and issues encountered in the field by a public safety chaplain. It is well-suited for those already serving as chaplains and those who have experienced a call to this ministry but are not yet connected with an agency.
The cost of the certification program is $1,500, plus housing, books and meals
For more information about the program, contact Chaplain Eric Skidmore at eskidmore@sled.sc.政府 or 803.206.8961.

这个项目挑战了, encouraged and motivated me to become a better chaplain for all those that I’m able to reach both in public safety as well as the general public.
课程交付
Coursework is offered in a hybrid distance learning and classroom setting over a period of 18 consecutive months. 学生 are expected to complete assigned reading and writing on their own in preparation for monthly class sessions held on campus at the seminary in Columbia, S.C.
All students in the cohort are required to attend the monthly class sessions that begin on Friday afternoon and conclude on Saturday afternoon. 学生 who successfully complete the training program will receive a certificate of completion. Coursework will reflect the academic rigor and 神学 depth consistent with an Association of Theological Schools accredited seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. However, courses are not graduate level and are not transferable credits for seminary. Courses are unrelated to licensure or ordination as a public safety chaplain.
