Religious program specialist

Page
Religious Program Specialist (RP) is a designated rating within the United States Navy. As an essential member of Professional Naval Chaplaincy, RPs fulfill a crucial function in administering religious ministry within the Department of the Navy (DON). Together with chaplains, they form the Religious Ministry Team (RMT). In this capacity, RPs actively support the provision and facilitation of Religious Ministry, offering assistance and care to Navy and Marine Corps personnel, as well as their families, irrespective of their backgrounds and faith affiliations. Despite working in a religiously diverse environment, RPs are not mandated to hold religious beliefs nor perform pastoral counseling for the service members under their care. Due to the mobile nature of the units they may be assigned to, RPs can be stationed on Navy ships, at various Navy and Marine Corps commands, navy construction battalions, and other unique combatant units-rendering them globally deployable.
