Become a Chaplain or Candidate

Starting the Journey

The Chaplains Commission enables individual churches or denominations to send chaplain missionaries into the military mission fields. We strongly believe that a strong relationship with a local church or denomination is essential to a chaplain’s success and spiritual well-being. As a result, we require that all of our chaplains, candidates and applicants be recommended to us by a church or denomination that is a member of the NAE Chaplains Commission.
