Professional Chaplaincy

Our Chaplains have accomplished becoming or are in the process of becoming Board Certified Chaplains through the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC). The APC is an important national organization that certifies Chaplains and implements standards for the provision of pastoral care.

The links below are to documents that will help in understanding aspects of Professional Chaplaincy and how they impact DCH. They are an excellent source of information.
