Is God calling you to be a Chaplain?
If God has given you a desire to be a Chaplain with FFC, please prayerfully consider the following.
How to become a Firefighters For Christ Chaplain
First, pray and ask God if this is the ministry He has called you to. It is imperative that each of seek His will prior to walking in any direction. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Second, take an honest look at yourself. Are you spiritually ready for this
position? Are you attending fellowship regularly? Are you spending time in God’s Holy Word? “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” Psalms 139:23-24
Third, seek counsel of those who are closest to you. Speak to your co-workers,
friends. If married, discuss this with your spouse. “Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19:20-21
FFC Chaplains are expected to be deeply rooted in God's Word, possessing strong communication and interpersonal skills. They should be comfortable offering prayer in both one-on-one settings and public events when called upon. Additionally, they should actively support our chapters and chapter leaders.
