Chaplaincy Endorsement and Fellowship
We offer a chaplains fellowship and are recognized by the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC) as an endorser of chaplains seeking professional certification.
steering committee
We are pleased to work with an endorsement steering committee that includes our executive director and nine certified professional chaplains, certified chaplaincy educators, and ministry professionals.
