Does Julie Green (chaplain) have formal theological training or ordination and where did she study?

1. What Julie Green’s own bios say about training and ministry

Julie Green’s ministry website and synoptic ministry pages emphasize lived ministry experience: the about page says she “started preaching in 2010” and served as an associate pastor where her father was head pastor, and it frames her formation as learning “through the Word and the teachings of many ministries,” language that indicates experiential and parachurch influences rather than a named accredited theological school ^{[1] [2]}. Her digital presence includes sermon and media channels—video uploads and a podcast—underscoring a public ministry built on preaching and outreach rather than documented academic credentials ^{[5] [4]}.

2. What public church listings reveal — activity but not academic credentials

A Greystone Baptist Church author page lists Julie Hardison Green as a long-time member active in committees and teaching roles, which confirms congregational involvement and leadership but does not provide evidence of seminary coursework, degrees, or formal ordination papers in the profile text ^[3]. Multiple ministry-oriented pages corroborate pastoral roles and preaching dates but stop short of naming accredited theological institutions, diploma titles, or an endorsing denominational body that would typically be cited when formal training or ordination exists ^{[1] [2]}.

3. How chaplaincy and institutional norms frame the missing pieces

Context matters: institutional chaplaincy job descriptions and qualification documents commonly require degrees from accredited theological schools, Clinical Pastoral Education, or formal ordination or recognized religious endorsement—standards set out in state and federal chaplaincy qualification documents ^{[6] [7]}. Those norms explain why reporters or institutional bios often note formal training or ordination when present; in Green’s case, the absence of such specifics in available bios is notable given how frequently ordination and seminary credentials are displayed for clergy in institutional roles ^{[6] [7]}.

4. Limits of the public record and the responsible conclusion

Available public sources consistently document Julie Green’s preaching start date, associate pastor role, church membership, and media ministry, but they do not state that she has completed accredited theological study or holds formal ordination, and no source among those provided names a seminary, degree, ordaining body, or endorsement ^{[1] [3] [2] [4]}. This reporting cannot prove a negative—absence of published credentials in the cited material is not definitive proof that formal training or ordination does not exist—but on the record supplied, there is no documented evidence of seminary study or an ordination credential to cite ^{[1] [3] [2]}.
