Join the Commission

Becoming a Member

Membership is reserved for churches or denominations that wish to send chaplains into the mission field or support the efforts of those already engaged in ministry. A prerequisite for membership in the Chaplains Commission is membership within the NAE. Members in good standing can then apply for one of two types of membership within the Commission. All members have a representative on the Commission Board, which regulates the endorsement process for members and sets the policies and procedures for the Commission.

Regular Members
This membership category normally consists of individual churches and denominations with a relatively small number of chaplains serving either on active duty or in the reserve components of the military services. The Commission handles all approval and endorsing actions on behalf of these members.

Affiliate Members
Affiliate members are larger denominations that serve as their own endorsing body. They maintain membership in the Commission to strengthen the voice of evangelicalism within the chaplaincy and the Department of Defense.
