Areas of Chaplaincy

The different areas of chaplaincy have one thing in common: they represent a group of people that has a unique culture and shared experience. To excel as a chaplain, you need to understand the culture, experience, and needs of the community you serve. Understanding these things allows a minister to connect with people who might otherwise be closed to receiving the love of Christ.

Our vision is to commission Spirit-empowered chaplains to offer a compassionate presence in their communities, to provide for the needs of community members, and share the transforming love of God.

Many more serve as chaplains in hospitals and prisons around the United States. David Wright, a 2015 graduate of AGTS, is one of the most recent to answer the call to chaplaincy. Assigned in September as an infantry battalion chaplain in the 3-2 Stryker Brigade at Fort Lewis, Washington, Wright is ready to reach the military for Christ.

Trailblazing Continues

Assemblies of God U.S. Missions Chaplaincy Ministries Senior Director Manuel A. Cordero knew he had found the right person for a newly configured leadership position in Gloria Orengo Taylor. Taylor retired in 2014 after a combined 35 years as a chaplain, equally split between the military and hospitals. Cordero believed such experience made her the perfect candidate for the reshaped post of AG Chaplaincy Ministries Veterans Affairs/health care representative. Previously, duties for VA representation have been performed by Scott McChrystal, who has served as the military as well as VA representative and endorser since 2005. McChrystal will continue in the military role.

Medal We Appreciate Your Service

“I used to believe that ministry was all about filling the pews in the church. Becoming an endorsed chaplain opened my eyes to see that we are tasked with reaching our community for Christ, not just filling pews on a Sunday morning.”
