Does a pastor need to become a member of Community Chaplains of America in order to receive some of the benefits such as purchase discounts?

No, a pastor becomes registered with us as part of the “commissioning” process and can receive a discount on teaching materials for the church. Contact Customer Service for more details.

Can a pastor recommend people to register for the Community Chaplain program?

Yes, we encourage pastors and their church leaders to recommend that members of their congregation consider community chaplaincy as an extension of their existing outreach activities. While each member must have their own Empowerment Kit, in some instances, discipleship and Bible study classes may benefit from training materials that will be available. Contact Customer Service for more details.

How long does it take to read and comprehend the publications and audio/video materials in the kit?

Every one of us reads and learns at a different pace, but it is our desire that you spend at least 84 hours with these materials. Each of the audio CDs should be listened to at least five times in your car or home and allow the same time for watching the DVDs. For the printed materials, each chapter will take an average of two hours depending upon length and complexity of the subject.

What does “commissioning” cost?

Nothing! There is no charge to you or your church for the process of commissioning, however, this step allows you to move ahead with your membership in Community Chaplains of America and choose to enroll in one of the membership options (Silver or Gold).
