Manda University’s unique Bachelor of Chaplaincy Degree Program answers the call to provide an in-depth, intensive approach to the “ministry of presence.” In addition to the traditional chaplaincy curriculum, there is a strong emphasis placed on the scriptural basis for each component of the program. The strength behind any Chaplain’s effectiveness is his or her knowledge of the Word of God, coupled with powerful crisis intervention methodologies. A Chaplain provides both emotional and spiritual support at the community level in a variety environments such as fire departments, law enforcement agencies, hospitals and hospices, military, and other specialized positions where the need for the love and truth of the Lord Jesus Christ is evident.
The successful graduate will be prepared to serve as a Professional or Ordained Chaplain and/or to enroll in the Master of Divinity degree program.
A person who has a call on their life to minister to his or her community as a Chaplain may enroll in the Threefold Chaplaincy Volunteer Training Program, and not in the entire Bachelor’s Program.
This program provides the attendee with a certificate that will acknowledge their successful completion of this program, which is an intensive for scriptural preparation.
