If you live in Waskom, The National School Chaplain Association (NSCA) (405-831-3299) wants you to know there are incredible new opportunities for school chaplains to work within Texas school systems upholding traditional values.
New CDC figures show that 44% of American teenagers now report feeling persistently sad and hopeless and another 40% are concerned about being the victim of a mass shooting. In dark times like these, school chaplains are called to bring the light back into education and into the lives of this nation’s children and young people.
If you’re called to become a school chaplain, you will become a professional and respectful figure whose primary goal is to uphold traditional principles in the school system. Both public and private schools alike in Texas and the United States are impacted by far-ranging issues like in-school violence, including gun violence, cyberbullying, sexting and explicit material sharing, widespread depression and anxiety, gender confusion, and more. The National School Chaplain Association believes the work of the chaplain has become increasingly important; and that, therefore, if you are called to become a chaplain, you are called to greatness.

Following the passing of the Chaplain Bill in June of this year, the work of the chaplain has also become more in demand, and countless schools across the state—both elementary, middle and high schools—have opted to welcome a full-time certified chaplain into their school community.
That’s why the NSCA is now specifically reaching out to people in Waskom, like yourself, who would like to consider a new career as a school chaplain. While many people see chaplaincy as a calling first, which it is, it is also—as the Chaplain Bill reinforces—a legitimate career, of equal to many other full-time positions within a school.
However, in order to make chaplaincy a career, it will be necessary for you to undergo training and certification through an esteemed and established organization like the NSCA.

With the support of the NSCA, you should be able to complete your training in as little as eight weeks and then, after you graduate, the association will work closely with you to ensure you can find suitable employment within a school.
As a school chaplain, you will become a source of traditional values within the school system, and in doing so you will be able to improve students' emotional wellbeing and provide meaningful moral and spiritual guidance that can create hope, purpose and community.
A spokesperson for the NSCA said, “Chaplains certified by the National School Chaplain Association serve people of diverse religious, spiritual, moral, and ethical backgrounds. Readied with a Biblical perspective, our chaplains build community by inviting students into the fullness of life. School chaplain duties include but are not limited to prayer, counsel, and spiritual care for the school staff, the students, and their families.”
The NSCA could share countless more statistics with you that show that this nation’s children are in peril, but they believe that with professional, respectful, supportive and empowering chaplains by their side, everything can be overcome.
