Chaplaincy Ministries
In the Church of the Nazarene and on the WaPac District, we value the ministry of chaplains. You will find the steps to follow outlined here as you pursue ordination and endorsement. The call of God to the work of a chaplain is unique and often challenging. As you explore this ministry and the gifts and graces that are needed, you will find encouragement and direction from the District Board of Ministry and mentoring from those already experienced in this rewarding ministry.
Blessings as you prepare,
Jerry Kester, Superintendent
Washington Pacific District
Church of the Nazarene
