Corporate Chaplains of America

About Us

A large percentage of people today do not have any relationship with a church or other organized religious group. Often rushed for time, their beliefs and personal needs take a back seat to the meetings, deadlines, and agendas of the workplace. Yet, the problems at home don't go away...they are simply brought, as emotional baggage, to work each day. Corporate Chaplains of America was founded in 1996 to provide genuine “Caring in the Workplace”, while following a structured business plan built upon process management principles.

The organization employs full time, long term, career chaplains who combine workplace experience with professional chaplaincy training. In addition to holding seminary level or higher degrees, all chaplains will pursue certification through 154 hours of continuing education within the first year of tenure.

Desiring to be America’s leading full time corporate chaplain agency, Corporate Chaplains of America was the first to provide:

• A process managed system to provide seamless integration of its chaplaincy system into companies large and small, public and private, serving businesses in practically every SIC industry classification. Some clients employ as few as 10 associates, while others have in excess of 10,000.
• An exclusively full time workforce of highly trained professional chaplains with an exceptionally high retention rate in excess of 93% over the history of the organization.
• Significant investment (more than one half million dollars) in integrated continuing education systems designed to keep chaplain skills current.
• Long term career pathways for chaplains and support staff.
• Leadership training for continued career growth and generational intelligence at all levels of the organization.
• Full time headquarters staff dedicated exclusively to chaplain recruitment.
• Branded uniform clothing consistent with workplace environment.
• Universal continuing education training and emotional decompression events. Three times per year all chaplains retreat from their respective fields of service for three days to recharge emotionally and enhance skills.
• Strong financial controls, leading to the top financial ranking of any agency in the industry according to Guidestar.com, a non-profit watchdog group.
• Intentional succession planning to provide multi-generation service.

The organizational vision of Corporate Chaplains of America is to train thousands of chaplains serving millions of people by 2012.
