- I understand that he/she as a chaplain will be working under my direction as the local pastor and church, but certified as a UPC Chaplain. In this way, we will bring credibility and organization to our chaplains into a connected team within the Department of Chaplains (DOC).
- I understand that being certified as a UPC Chaplain does not make this chaplain a minister, a pastor, or in any way bypass the leadership of the local church. Being a chaplain is a tool to aid in the outreach of the local church as well as develop workers for the kingdom.
- I understand that Chaplaincy Ministries reserves the right to revoke any chaplain's affiliation with DOC at any time. The local pastor approving/denying this document also reserves the right to request revocation at pastor's discretion.
- One of our goals is that in the event of a disaster we will have working trained chaplains available to represent the UPCI.
We have tested and proven the effectiveness of this ministry by the souls being reached and won to the kingdom. With over 300 UPC chaplains nationwide serving in local churches, please consider being partners with us as we train your chaplain staff. If you could find it in your heart to support us on a monthly basis or a onetime donation to UPC Chaplaincy Ministries through our online giving, we would greatly appreciate it.
We thank you in advance for your support.
