Our chaplains and senior trainers deliver training at three levels:
-
Level 1-Introduction to Community Sports Chaplaincy,
-
Level 2-Certificate in Sports Chaplaincy, and
-
Level 3-Advanced Sports Chaplaincy Leadership Training Modules
For many people in Christian pastoral ministry, sports chaplaincy comes quite naturally. In light of this, and the overwhelming need in sports for pastoral carers, we are seeking to train as many men and women as possible allowing them to launch into a chaplaincy role in a sports club of their choice, as soon as possible.

SCA is deeply committed to see a chaplain serving in every club. So much so that we’ve made our Level 1 training free and accessible to faith communities around Australia. If you would like us to run training in your area please discuss this with a senior sports chaplain, or contact our regional coordinators or national training team.

What are People Saying?
I have no hesitation in recommending the course to anyone who seeks to equip themselves to serve God as a sports chaplain, or in any area where they can be a blessing and help to others.
I am so impressed with the practical, Aussie relevant training offered by SCA. It has not only empowered our surf chaplains, but gives ministry principles for anyone committed to authentic mission.
