Training
This college-level program includes six courses and 200 hours of supervised field training, giving students hands-on experience in chaplaincy across various environments. The coursework is designed to be finished within one year, but must be completed within three years.
Classes are presented in the module format, which means face-to-face contact hours are completed over one weekend. Students are expected to finish the required textbook reading and assignments by specific due dates. All contact hours, assignments, and final exams must be successfully completed to pass the class.
Classes are held in modules with in-person sessions over one weekend. Students must complete readings and assignments by the designated deadlines. To pass, all contact hours, assignments, and final exams are required.
Courses use Zoom for online delivery and Canvas for coursework. The schedule matters more than location. Each course includes lectures and group discussions.
Once accepted into the program, candidates may finish the training according to their finances and schedules. We have worked hard to keep the cost of the program affordable.
After admission, candidates can complete the training at their own pace and budget. The program is designed to be affordable. Classes are scheduled on a year rotation, allowing students to join and progress through the curriculum annually.
Credit Status
There are two pathways to obtaining a credit student status. Applicants are required to have completed a minimum of two years of Bible or Theology education. Possession of a four-year degree from an accredited institution is preferred.
The second way to gain credit status without a formal college degree is:
Bible knowledge verification refers to the process by which a pastor (current or former) or mentor attests to a candidate's equivalent understanding and mastery of a two-year Bible education curriculum.
You need a minister who has taught you for at least five years and can vouch for your character.
They should send us a letter confirming their identity and qualifications, how long you studied under them, and specific examples of your demonstrated Bible knowledge, such as teaching, preaching, or leading studies or groups.
After we have received all the required documents, you will be asked to complete a Bible entrance examination. This assessment is designed to evaluate your understanding of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.
Audit Status
All CCI courses can be audited for non-credit, focusing on personal growth. Assignments are optional.
