20 Years Shaping Chaplaincy Education

With over two decades of experience educating and mentoring chaplains, I bring a depth of knowledge to the certification process that few coaches can match.

As National Faculty for ACPE (Association for Clinical Pastoral Education), I have trained chaplains at the highest level โ€” reviewing boards, shaping standards, and guiding hundreds of chaplains through the certification process. I know exactly what certifying boards are looking for because I've been part of that world for 20 years.

What chaplains are saying

I had failed my board once and was dreading going back. The mock interview alone changed everything โ€” I walked in feeling prepared and calm. I passed on my second attempt.

Hospital Chaplain APC Board Certified

My philosophy statement had always felt scattered. After just two sessions, I had a clear, confident voice. My board committee said it was one of the strongest statements they had read.

Military Chaplain NAVAC Certified

As a prison chaplain, I wasn't sure if this coaching would translate to my context. It absolutely did. Every session was relevant, practical, and encouraging.

Corrections Chaplain Board Certified

I was a seminary student with no idea where to start. This coaching gave me a roadmap and the confidence to pursue certification with a clear strategy from day one.

Everything you need to know

Which certifying bodies do you work with?
+
We work with APC, NAVAC, NAJC, COMISS, and several other certifying bodies. Every coaching program is tailored to the specific requirements of your board, so what you learn is directly applicable to your certification path.
How long does the process take?
+
Most clients complete the Standard package in 8 weeks, but we work around your schedule and exam date. If you have a specific deadline, we can accelerate the timeline to make sure you're ready in time.
What if I've already failed the board once?
+
Many of our most successful clients come to us after a first attempt that didn't go as planned. We'll start by identifying exactly where the gaps were and build a focused plan so your next attempt is entirely different.
Are sessions done online or in person?
+
All sessions are conducted via video call, so you can work with us from anywhere in the country. This also makes scheduling more flexible around your existing clinical or ministry commitments.
Do I need to have all my CPE units complete before starting?
+
Not necessarily. We can begin coaching while you're still completing units โ€” in fact, starting earlier often gives you an advantage, as we can help you frame your CPE experience in a way that strengthens your board application.
Is there a payment plan available?
+
Yes. We offer flexible payment options for all packages. We can discuss this during your free discovery call and find an arrangement that works for your situation.
