Dissertation note: Thesis Columbia International University Seminary and School of Missions 2014. Abstract: This dissertation relates the fields of biblical discipleship, ministerial training, and modern research in mentoring to the professional development of chaplains in the United States Army, particularly how company-grade chaplains experienced mentoring as both Army officer professional development and ministerial professionals. By seeking to understand what they believe to be effective qualities and practices of mentors, the Army Chaplain Corps may benefit in shaping its own training and supervision of its mid-grade and senior chaplain leaders to prepare the next generation of chaplains. Mentors of chaplains serve as models who embody both Army and servant-leader values that promote the institution's purposes and perpetuate positive mentoring practices. The biblical model of discipleship provides a sound base for understanding historical examples and modern practices of the concept of mentoring. Mentors came alongside new members of the organization and not only train and guide them in the areas of competence, but also character. The words of Jesus Christ to his disciples the night before his betrayal and crucifixion are appropriate in describing the continuum and goal of mentoring. "No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you" (John 15:15). Mentoring is the transition from disciple to friend.
