If you want to become a modern angel in Angleton, you should consider becoming an accredited school chaplain with the National School Chaplain Association.

Following the passing of the Chaplain Bill in Texas earlier this year—a decision which means chaplains can now work in any elementary, middle or high school in the state, whether public or private—the National School Chaplain Association has seen that a slate of new full-time positions are currently opening up for chaplains in Texas. What this means is that there are now new tailored job opportunities for people in Angleton and Brazoria County, like yourself, who feel they are called to help guide children and young people.

In essence, a school chaplain serves as a source of pastoral care and spiritual guidance in a school, and given the vast shortage of licensed counselors that schools in Texas are facing, the NSCA believes its training can play a critical role.

As the nationwide chaplaincy organization explained, if you feel called to serve, “becoming a certified school chaplain opens doors for you to touch the lives of countless students and teachers, and to leave an indelible mark on their journeys and generations to come.”

If you have prior teaching and ministry experience, are respected within your community, or are a person who upholds conservative values, the National School Chaplain Association is looking for you.

With 38% of Gen Z now identifying as liberal, more than double the number that identify as conservative, the NSCA has seen that conservative values in the youngest generation of Americans are quickly fading, and they believe, to their detriment.

With higher levels of violence and bullying in schools, an epidemic of anxiety and depression, and new social issues like gender confusion arising, the National School Chaplain Association believes that a return to strong community and family values can greatly aid students, as can uplifting spiritual guidance which helps them to develop more positive and hopeful ideations.

You will gain all the skills you need to deliver this kind of pastoral care and spiritual guidance through the NSCA’s online training program, an intensive course you can complete in just eight weeks, with additional programming in school safety.

A spokesperson for the association said, “We invite you to unlock your potential to make a profound impact on the lives of students as a certified school chaplain.”

If you live in Angleton, this is your sign to follow your calling.
