what is a chaplain?

​A Chaplain is a person who spiritually represents and conducts non-denominational services.  To become a Chaplain, it does not require a theological education only a certification of  the Chaplains Office of Canada. This can help a Chaplain contribute toward their own ministry. ​Chaplains are used to represent only the Christian faith, but now they represent all denominations.
