QUALIFICATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES of a SCV Chaplain:
Taken from the CHAPLAIN'S HANDBOOK SCV, Compiled and Edited by Dr. Rondel Rumburg; 2005; pages 71-72.  They can be purchased at the International Headquarters Bookstore in Elm Springs. The cost is $10.00.

 
Qualifications:
Inward:
A man born of the Spirit or as the Lord Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3 that he must be born again, that is, he must come to repentance of his sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.

Outward:
1. There should be manifestations of the fruit of the Spirit who indwells the believer as set forth in Galatians 5:22-26.

2. The requirements for deacons and elders are set forth by the hand of inspiration in I Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-9 are excellent requirements for the Chaplains as well. The same requirements are desirable for any leader giving forth the Word of God.
