FAQ’s
The Rapid Response Team requires Billy Graham chaplains to complete the following four training courses: Sharing Hope in Crisis (SHIC), two Critical Incident Stress Management courses (CISM) and a free online chaplain deployment orientation. These courses may be taken following chaplaincy approval. However, if you’ve completed SHIC and the CISM courses prior to the application process, they will still be credited to you. BG-RRT chaplains will be responsible to take the chaplain deployment orientation, located in the BG-RRT Portal, every two years.
Sharing Hope in Crisis Live Seminar (8 hours)
The one-day Sharing Hope in Crisis (SHIC) seminar is intended for anyone and everyone in the church. All of us know a friend, neighbor or co-worker who is struggling with a life crisis. This seminar was developed to help you know what to say and what not to say when people grieve, and how to compassionately and appropriately share the love and hope of Jesus Christ. This training is also beneficial for counselors, first responders, and church leaders who face suffering people on a regular basis.
This eight-hour course, along with the online Sharing Hope in Crisis online course, meets the suggested requirements for RRT chaplaincy.
