The NAE Chaplains Commission, although it operates under the authority and as a part of the NAE, is not funded or staffed by the parent organization. The Chaplains Commission elects its own officers, appoints staff and has its own budget. Operating funds are raised through dues assessed to the members, active duty and reserve chaplains, as well as gifts received by others. The deadline for dues each year is June 30.
Annual Church & Denomination Dues
There are two categories of membership:
General Members include all denominations and churches whose chaplains are approved and endorsed by the NAE Chaplains Commission. To maintain their status and the endorsements for their chaplains, these churches pay $600 each year.
Affiliate Members are denominations or churches who provide their chaplains with an endorsement without the aid of the Commission, but maintain membership in order to support evangelical objectives. Yearly dues are $1500.
Individual Chaplain & Chaplain Candidate Fees and Dues
Each chaplain or chaplain candidate that is endorsed or approved by the NAE Chaplains Commission is required to pay annual dues in addition to those paid by their church.
Active duty chaplains or full-time Veterans Affairs chaplains who draw their endorsement from the NAE Chaplains Commission are assessed annual dues of $600.
National Guard, Reserve, or part-time Veterans Affairs chaplains endorsed by the NAE Chaplains Commission pay $250 each year.
Chaplain candidates, institutional chaplains*, and chaplains in non-paying military status pay annual dues at a rate of $50.
*Institutional chaplains include those serving as civil air patrol, police, fire department, hospital and prison chaplains.
