Prayer Chaplaincy Program
A Soul Center OC Prayer Chaplain is trained and licensed in the New Thought teachings of affirmative prayer, and can pray with others.
A Soul Center OC Prayer Chaplain is trained in the Universal Principals and Laws observed by Soul Center OC in alignment with Agape International Spiritual Center in the New Thought teachings of affirmative prayer. A Prayer Chaplain is someone who evokes grace, can create and hold sacred space for themselves and others, and can pray with others. To hold sacred space means to embrace a consciousness and Divine power of God’s Truth and healing.
Certification & Licensing Program
The Prayer Chaplaincy Program enables one to become either Licensed or Certified. Both Licensed and Certified Prayer Chaplains must complete all required classes and curriculum. A Licensed Prayer Chaplain is one who would like to serve the Soul Center OC community, locally and/or remotely. Licensed Prayer Chaplains have committed to serving our community by being available for individual prayer after services and by phone that meet a minimum hourly requirement, and may make in person hospital or home visits during challenging times.
A Certified Prayer Chaplain is not obligated to our community and may complete their certification to aid their professional practice. A Certified Soul Center Prayer Chaplain may use their certification in their private practice as a healer, therapist, holistic practitioner, in their own community, and with family members and friends.
To maintain their license, a Licensed Prayer Chaplain must comply with annual continuing education to keep their practice fresh and expand it. Continuing education is optional for Certified Prayer Chaplains. Once the program is complete, both licensed and certified Prayer Chaplains are eligible for reduced pricing on continuing education classes offered by Soul Center OC.
All Prayer Chaplains maintain a code of ethics and confidentiality and are mindful of any state or federal laws thereof. Prayer chaplains are individuals steeped and certified in the principles of affirmative prayer and are not New Thought Spiritual Counselors (ALSP; RScP).

Students are encouraged to actively participate in the course by completing growth work assignments on time, sharing in large and small group dialogues, asking questions, and other activities as assigned by the instructor. Growth work assignments are designed to reveal, expand, and develop untapped areas of your mental, emotional, and spiritual self. Growth work, done earnestly and sincerely, allows students to discover a deepening and expansion of consciousness, leading to a more self-realized individual who’s unified with all of Life and ready to activate their unique gifts and talents. Growth work varies from course to course, and each instructor will provide the necessary details and expectations.
