Protestant Chaplains
A Protestant chaplain in the Navy ministers in a truly pluralistic setting. Working with different faiths of the Christian tradition and facilitating for the needs of other religious communities, a Protestant chaplain has an interesting and diverse ministry.

Protestant chaplains in the Navy provide:

  • Ministry of the Word by preaching to congregations of active-duty personnel and their families at a naval base, Marine Corps air station, or Coast Guard boot camp.
  • Celebration of the Lord's Supper to a field unit on exercises in Korea;
  • Bible studies for Marines in the field in Okinawa or Sailors onboard aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean;
  • Counseling for troubled spouses overseas or classes preparing for a return and reunion of military personnel and their families after a deployment;
  • Advice for commanding officers on moral and quality-of-life issues
  • Crisis ministry at the time of death or national disaster.
