EFCA Chaplains

Strengthened by the service of 240 Chaplains, the EFCA reaches into a variety of communities around the world as each chaplain fulfills the role of the clergy taking the Good News of Jesus Christ beyond the local church.

Chaplains perform church services and provide ministry within unique settings ministering to people in the military, health care centers, veterans’ medical centers, colleges, universities, senior centers, corporations, hospices, community services (police and fire departments), and other locations.
