The US Conference of Chaplains is a tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) organization as determined by the IRS.  The National Offices are headed by the Chief Chaplain who also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors.  He is responsible for overall policy and objectives and is assisted by a Deputy Chief Chaplain and up to three other Directors.  


Ministry Teams in local communities are a great way to expand outreach. State Chaplains are needed in every state.  The country is defined by five sections, each with an Area Chaplain.  In The Conference the word Chaplain is a verb.


Our handbook the "Chaplain's Compendium" will be made available to every new member. Every member must also complete a basic level of training during the initial 90 day probation.  It is structured to be obtainable for everyone with a manageable sacrifice of time and effort.
