VCN Chaplaincy
Since 1952, VCN chaplaincy has recruited, endorsed and placed chaplains on the cutting edge of ministry. 170 chaplains serve in the military branches; Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, and their Reserve and National Guard components including the Civil Air Patrol and Coast Guard auxiliaries. Full-time, part-time and volunteer chaplains minister in other Federal agencies; the Veterans Health Administration, the Department of Justice (FBI) and Bureau of Prisons. Our chaplains work in State and County correctional facilities while healthcare chaplains minister in hospitals, medical centers, nursing homes and hospice care. Many pastors minister to first responders; supporting local Law Enforcement personnel and providing post-trauma care to Firefighters and EMS workers in their communities. Specialized chaplains serve motor sports and Veterans groups, Wounded Warriors, State Veterans long-term care facilities, retirement homes, and rescue missions.
VCN Chaplains, in every time zone, on every continent, on land, at sea, in the air, and in dark and dangerous places…all on the cutting edge of ministry. CVNW is home to 35 chaplains in Alaska (2), Idaho (3), Oregon (17), and Washington (13).
