SUMMARY OF WORK

1. Approved six new Endorsements for Chaplaincy (civilian/military) and deletion of some chaplains for various reasons, bringing the current number of Endorsed Chaplains to 84.

2. The CWCC/Endorser, with the support of Bob Garment, EPC Chief Parliamentarian, Fred Lian, Ministerial Vocation Committee Chair, and two CWCC Chairs, resubmitted the reworked, recommended change to the Book of Order (BOO) providing a clear statement on the expectation for Chaplain Endorsement.

3. As an Officer of Chaplains Alliance for Religious Liberty (CALL), the Endorser accomplished 32 key office visits with Congressional members of both House and Senate Armed Services Committees, and was part of a large symposium on Religious Freedom in America at the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C.

4. The CWCC recognizes the extensive work of the Endorser, citing continued increase of chaplains, and the work supporting challenges faced by chaplains.

5. The EPC Chaplain Endorser has been elected Chairman of the National Association of Evangelicals – Evangelical Chaplains Commission, the Chaplaincy Arm of the NAE.

6. The Endorser accomplished 24 official, in-person Endorser visits to chaplains.

7. The Endorser began his chaplaincy speaking visits to all EPC Presbyteries, with his plan to speak at all 16 by Winter 2025. As of this report’s submission, he has spoken at 10 Presbyteries.

8.Volunteer Chaplains are very important to the EPC and the CWCC intends to include them in the support provided by the CWCC/Endorser in recognition of the vital work they are doing.

9. The Endorser represents the EPC, CWCC, and chaplains through meetings with associations and conferences in which the denomination has affiliation (names of these are provided in the report body). Meetings were both in-person and virtual.

10. The Endorser continued his direct work and officer positions with three major chaplain-supporting associations in which the EPC belongs (list is provided in the body of the report).

11.The CWCC voted to temporarily reinstate payment of annual dues to the Evangelical Chaplains Commission (ECC) for 2024, the Chaplaincy arm of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), due to various changes in the Commission and our relationship with them.

12.Further research is being done on developing a Social Network tool for use by the Chaplains and the Endorser/CWCC.

13. One committee member is being transferred out of the country which creates a vacancy for a Ruling Elder to be added at this year’s General Assembly. With this replacement, and the agreement of 2 committee members to extend for another term, it keeps the desired balance of the Committee to a ratio of 2-1 TE’s to RE’s.

14. Revised/updated the EPC Chaplaincy web page featuring links to various application forms and other key chaplaincy and EPC documents, as well as other pertinent information. Additional edits were made to the Chaplains Handbook to update it and make it more streamlined and clearer for our Chaplains.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Chaplains Work and Care Committee recommends that the 44th General Assembly approve an amendment to the Book of Government, 9-5.E and BOG 9-11 concerning Chaplain Endorsements. The details are submitted through the Ministerial Vocation Committee Report.

WORK OF THE COMMITTEE

SCOPE OF WORK

The Chaplains Work and Care Committee (CWCC) consists of nine members, both Teaching and Ruling Elders, along with the EPC Chaplain Endorser who serves as an ex-officio member with voice and vote. The desired balance of the Committee is a 2-1 ratio of TE’s to RE’s. The CWCC and Endorser are supported by the denomination’s Assistant Stated Clerk. With limited administrative support provided by the OGA, the Endorser is seeking a Volunteer Administrative Assistant to support his work and the work of the CWCC.

The military and many civilian institutions require their chaplains to be Ecclesiastically Endorsed by their denominations. Additionally, the EPC expects all chaplains serving in institutional organizations that don’t require Endorsement to, nevertheless, be Endorsed under the EPC through the CWCC and Endorser. This requirement is in line with other sending denominations and faith groups. It helps to ensure that all individuals seeking to serve as Chaplains are well vetted and suited for this specialized type of professional ministry and that we are meeting the expectations of Institutions asking us to send them the “best of our best” to serve.

EPC-ordained ministers and candidates under care of Presbyteries receive EPC Denominational Ecclesiastical Endorsement through the General Assembly’s Chaplain Endorser, who is the sole signatory for Endorsements, supported by the Chaplains Work and Care Committee (CWCC). The Committee and Endorser handle the application, vetting, interview, and endorsement process, closely reviewing the qualifications of each applicant for Endorsement. If approved, the Chaplain Endorser forwards the EPC Ecclesiastical Endorsement to:
• The Chief of Chaplains Office of the appropriate military branch for military institutional chaplains (this also includes seminarians entering Military Chaplain Candidate Programs).
• The necessary agency for civilian institutional chaplains, including those seeking Board Certification, entrance to Clinical Pastoral Education programs, and others.

Notification of successful Endorsement is also provided to the Presbytery in which the individual is in the process for Ordination, or already Ordained and serving in another Calling. In addition, Volunteer chaplains are now properly recognized for their work and receive a letter of “Endorsement to Serve as a Volunteer Chaplain.”

Due to the parallel process of Ordination and Endorsement, most of the following categories of Endorsement receive Conditional Endorsement which is explained below.
There are five distinct types of Endorsement, keeping in mind that all EPC chaplains are expected to receive Endorsement:

A. Military Chaplaincy Endorsement. For those Called to serve as a chaplain with the Army, Air Force, or Navy (includes Marines and Coast Guard), in an Active Duty, Reserve, or Guard capacity, including Seminarians considering military chaplaincy and entering a military Chaplain Candidate program, or those seeking to serve the Coast Guard Auxiliary Chaplaincy.
B. Military Chaplaincy Transfer of Endorsement. For currently serving military chaplains seeking to transfer their ordination credentials and endorsement from their current denomination or ordaining/endorsing group to the EPC.
C. Civilian Institutional Chaplaincy Endorsement. For those Called to serve as a chaplain within a civilian institution, including Hospital/Health Care, Hospice, Correctional Facilities, Corporate and Marketplace chaplaincies, Sports Organizations, Education, and more.
D. Civilian Institutional Chaplaincy Transfer of Endorsement. For currently serving civilian institutional chaplains seeking to transfer their ordination credentials and endorsement from their current denomination or ordaining/endorsing group to the EPC.
E. Volunteer Chaplaincy. For those (often TE’s serving in paid ministry roles) who are seeking to add to their Call of ministry in a “Volunteer” capacity. Volunteer chaplains serve in a variety of locations, providing unpaid and highly valuable chaplain support to various institutions and departments such as Police, Fire, First Responders, Disaster Relief, Health Care, and more. Volunteer chaplains receive a “Letter of Endorsement to Serve as a Volunteer Chaplain.”

Conditional Denominational Ecclesiastical Endorsement is provided for various reasons: 1) those still in the process of Ordination and have, successfully, completed their written Ordination Exams; 2) as a requirement/expectation by Presbyteries for meeting ordination requirements; 3) to apply for a chaplain position that is time sensitive; 4) to assist in the timing of the transfer credentials from another denomination as set forth by a Presbytery; 5) to meet requirements by military institutions that there be no disruption in a chaplains Endorsement status; 6) to apply to a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program/residency or to apply for Board Certification; or 7), to apply for a military Chaplain Candidate Program for Seminarians. Conditional Endorsement is limited in its length and can only be renewed by the Chaplain Endorser.

The Committee’s secondary—but just as important—function is to partner with Chaplains to be an encourager, and to guide and support them. All employed chaplains endorsed by the EPC will receive regular, direct support from a CWCC member as their partner. Volunteer Chaplains will still be partnered with a CWCC member who will be available to them as needed, such as for prayer requests, concerns, supporting information, and the like.

The Endorser’s secondary—but equally vital—function is to provide continuing support and accountability with chaplains, ensure that they are maintaining a connection with the EPC, and represent our God and the EPC well in their ministry. The Endorser also ensures through visits with Chaplains, that leadership is pleased with their work, and in turn, that leadership is supporting our chaplain in their efforts. Another key Endorser focus is that Chaplains receive annual, continuing education and training to better equip them in their work. These speak only of a few of the broad range of the Endorser’s responsibilities.

POLICIES, PROCEDURES, CARE

In addition, the CWCC and Endorser develops and implements policies and procedures for EPC chaplain ministry and provides pastoral care for Chaplains and their families as opportunities allow.

CHAPLAINCY ENDORSEMENTS

Since the 43rd General Assembly, the CWCC approved the following chaplaincy endorsements, bringing the total number of Endorsed Chaplains to 84:

TE Glen Holman: Approved Ecclesiastical Denominational Endorsement to serve as a Health Care Chaplain.
TE Robert “Bob” Barrett: Approved Ecclesiastical Denominational Endorsement to serve as a Hospice Chaplain.
TE Justin Sembler: Approved Ecclesiastical Denominational Endorsement as a Hospital Chaplain; and approved Ecclesiastical Denominational Endorsement to apply for Board Certification (BCCI) through the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC) or another certifying agency.
TE Luke Gleaves: Approved Conditional Transfer of Endorsement from the EFCA to the EPC, to continue service as an Army Reserve Chaplain; and approved Conditional Transfer of Endorsement from the EFCA to the EPC, to continue service as a Civilian Hospital Chaplain.
TE Katie Piquette: Approved Ecclesiastical Denominational Endorsement to serve as a Hospital Chaplain (potentially with the VA).
TE Matthew Liethen: Approved Denominational Ecclesiastical Endorsement to serve as a Hospice Chaplain.; and approved Denominational Ecclesiastical Endorsement to serve as a United States Air Force Reserve Chaplain.
TE Tanner Fixari: Approved Denominational Ecclesiastical Endorsement to serve as a Civilian Hospice Chaplain.

OPERATIONAL HANDBOOKS

Further edits were made to the Chaplain’s Handbook to make it an even more streamlined and efficient tool for Chaplain use. 

BOOK OF ORDER ENDORSEMENT REQUIREMENT

Spiritual leaders in numerous faith bodies serve in specialized ministries called chaplaincies: campus, community, corrections, first responder, health care, military, and the workplace cover many of those arenas in which Chaplains serve. Many institutional settings require Endorsement of qualified clergy to apply for chaplaincy positions in the military, the Veterans Administration (VA), the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), hospitals, and other health care facilities (e.g., hospice). Those that do not require Endorsement highly appreciate denominations/faith groups that have their requirement for Endorsement, as they know they are likely to receive a more well-vetted, qualified person applying to their institution.
In the case of the EPC, Endorsement through the CWCC and Chaplain Endorser provides a critical piece for properly and deeply vetting those seeking to minister in the unique and specialized role of a chaplain and the secular environment in which they serve. What the CWCC and Endorser accomplish is to go beyond what Presbyteries do in the Ordination process to serve as a Pastor or a Chaplain as a TE or Commissioned RE, by providing a deep and professionally based evaluation of whether an individual is fully Called, suited for, skilled, and has other important characteristics and strengths of what makes a well-qualified, solid, and effective Chaplain.
The Endorser recognizing that the Book of Order (BOO) lacked a clear statement on the expectation for Chaplain Endorsement, the Endorser, with the affirming support and guidance of Bob Garment, Chief Parliamentarian, and Fred Lian, Ministerial Vocations Chairman, authored an amendment to the BOO for approval at the 43rd General Assembly to add the specified expectation for Chaplain Endorsement. The amendment was pulled to address concerns about some of the wording. The Endorser, again with the support and guidance of Bob Garment, Fred Lian, and two CWCC Chair’s, addressed concerns expressed over the original submission and did the rework together. The CWCC, through the MVC, is submitting to the 44th General Assembly the reworked, recommended change to the Book of Order (BOO) providing a clear statement on the expectation for Chaplain Endorsement.

UPDATING CHAPLAINCY FORMS FOR DIGITAL ACCESS

Chaplain Application and Information Forms require consistent updates to keep them current. The Endorser with the support of the EPC Communications Team, ensures that these updates happen in a timely manner. These are all accessible online at http://www.epc.org/chaplaincy.

EPC CHAPLAINCY WEBPAGE

The ever-evolving EPC Chaplaincy web page at http://www.epc.org/chaplaincy is continually updated as necessary by the Chaplain Endorser through the EPC Communications Team. Updates keep the page current and user-friendly while providing easy access to Endorsement Applications with a clear explanation of the EPC Endorsement process for all seeking to serve as Chaplains.

SOCIAL NETWORKING TOOL FOR CHAPLAINS

In 2023 a presentation was provided by one of our EPC Chaplains, PJ Werner, regarding information sharing and networking among EPC Chaplains, CWCC, and the Endorser. Further research is being done on developing a Social Network tool for the Chaplains and the Endorser/CWCC.

CHAPLAINS WORKSHOP

All chaplains are expected to attend the annual Chaplains Workshop. The Chaplains Workshop has been recognized as a Leadership Institute offering at previous GAs, as much of what is presented would be valuable to both chaplains and non-chaplains alike. Instead of conducting a Chaplains workshop in 2023, a 2-day Chaplains’ Retreat was held at Glen Eyrie, CO. The keynote speaker for the Retreat was Rev. Wade Brown, of Pastor Serve, focusing on Relationships. The event was hugely successful and enjoyed by all. Everyone expressed the desire to have another Retreat in the future, however, the cost prohibits holding a retreat regularly. For non-retreat years the Chaplains Workshop will be held on Friday of General Assembly week.
We are thrilled that you will be joining us in Memphis, TN for our 2024 General Assembly and Chaplains Workshop. Considering the changes in the General Assembly’s format, schedule adjustments, and decisions made through the NLT in previous years, we regret to inform you that the Chaplains Workshop, traditionally held on a day during General Assembly week, will not be feasible this year. This decision, while unintended, is a consequence of past determinations.
The 2024 Chaplains Workshop will take place at Highland Heights EPC in Cordova, TN, on the Friday following GA. We extend our gratitude to TE Tim Foster; Navy Reserve Chaplain, former member of the CWCC, and pastor of Highland Heights EPC, who has generously offered his facility for the Workshop. We are planning on the Introduction of Chaplains and presentation of the Chaplaincy Report to occur during one of the GA Business Sessions

MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES

In response to how well the 2023 Chaplains Retreat went and how much the focus on relationships was valued and appreciated, the Chaplain Endorser plans to develop a focus paper to be sent out to all married chaplains. It will contain various marriage enrichment and maintenance opportunities supporting and maintaining good marital health.

PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATIONS / CONFIDENTIALITY BRIEF

The Chaplain Endorser has been collaborating with Bob Garment, EPC Chief Parliamentarian regarding privileged communications, confidentiality, and mandatory reporting, which already exists for many of his Chaplains. For example, the Department of Defense has a strict policy that provides nearly absolute adherence to provision of Confidential Communications with Chaplains, following closely the absolutes of Penitent Privilege/Confessional, afforded to Catholic Priests. Further discussion will continue, in possibly developing a policy on this for all TE positions.

CHAPLAIN VISITS

Chaplains receive personal visits from the Endorser, preferably every three years at a minimum. Even with some limitations imposed by rising travel costs and limited travel budget, the Endorser was able to accomplish 24 official/personal Endorser visits to chaplains, their supervisors, and leadership. These visits develop an ongoing and closer relationship with our Chaplains, along with helping to ensure their professional development. In addition, these visits provide important relationship-building between the Endorser and Supervisors and other Leadership to which the Chaplain is accountable.

ENDORSER PRESBYTERY VISITS

The Endorser began his chaplaincy speaking visits to all EPC Presbyteries in September 2023. He plans to speak at one of their Presbytery meetings of all 16 Presbyteries by Winter 2025. As of this report’s submission, he’s spoken at 10 Presbyteries. The focus of these visits is to speak about and better educate the Presbytery on the specialized ministry of Chaplaincy. The relationship between Ordination and Endorsement, its professional standing, and how Presbyteries can better come alongside Chaplains in various, important ways is also addressed. As the most rapidly growing form of ministry in the country, it is highly appropriate and timely to make these visits.

ASSOCIATION RELATIONS

The Endorser represents the denomination and chaplains in associations with which we have affiliation, as well as at six professional conferences. This includes NCMAF (National Conference of Ministry to the Armed Forces), NAE-ECC (National Association of Evangelicals – Evangelical Chaplains Commission), the Chaplaincy arm of the NAE, CALL (Chaplains Alliance for Religious Liberty), ECVAC (Endorsers Conference for Veterans Affair Chaplaincy, AFCB (Armed Forces Chaplain Board), MCA (Military Chaplains Association), and FCMM (Fellowship of Christian Military Ministries).

ENDORSER’S ASSOCIATION OFFICER ROLES

Previously Secretary for the National Association of Evangelicals – Evangelical Chaplains Commission (NAE-ECC), the Chaplaincy Arm of the NAE, the EPC Chaplain Endorser in early 2024 was elected Chairman of this body. The Endorser also continues as Treasurer for the Chaplains Alliance for Religious Liberty (CALL) and Secretary for the Endorsers Conference for Veterans Affairs Chaplaincy (ECVAC);. The EPC is a member of all of these organizations.
A special note regarding Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty (CALL), in which Endorser Mark Ingles serves as an Officer. Since 2011, CALL has been on the front lines and has led the effort to secure the religious liberties of chaplains and those whom they serve. The Organization strives to enable all chaplains to serve to the broadest extent of their constitutional mission and endorsement, and they nurture and support an environment that cherishes the role of chaplains in American culture. Keep them in prayer as they strive, through direct congressional, legal, and military institutional engagements, to ensure that no American, especially those who serve our nation, is denied their constitutionally protected rights to freely exercise their religious beliefs. Through his association with CALL, the Endorser accomplished 32 very productive office visits with various members of Congress who are part of the Armed Services Committees of both the House and the Senate. These meetings focused on Religious Freedom and Religious Liberty, and numerous other issues and challenges particularly facing our Chaplains. The Endorser was also part of a large symposium on Religious Freedom in America at the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC.

EVANGELICAL CHAPLAINS COMMISSION DUES AND EXCITING NEWS

The CWCC voted to temporarily reinstate payment of annual dues to the Evangelical Chaplains Commission (ECC) for 2024, the Chaplaincy arm of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), due to various changes in the Commission and our relationship with them, as well as the Endorser being elected Chairman for this body. One major change is that the ECC is in process of developing a Board Certification Program for Chaplains that will be foundationally Christian and Evangelical, something that has been lost in current Certification agencies. This new and officially recognized Board Certification Program is expected to go online this Summer. The permanence of Annual Dues Support will be revisited at next Spring’s Annual Meeting.

CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION (CPE) PARTIAL FUNDING

Recognizing the great importance of CPE for Chaplains, particularly in the arena of Health Care, discussion continues about the potential for providing partial funding of CPE Courses through the Care of Chaplains Fund, and possibly from Presbytery funding. A working paper will be created by TE’s Marty Carpenter and Dave Horton and discussed at our Fall 2024 Meeting.

CWCC/MVC MEETING ON CHAPLAINCY MATTERS

The CWCC and the Ministerial Vocations Committee (MVC) met together during a portion of both Committee’s Spring Meetings. The focus of this collaborative meeting was to discuss the parallel processes of Endorsement and Ordination, the interaction between Presbytery Ministerial Committee’s and Care of Candidate’s Committee’s with the Chaplain’s Work and Care Committee and Endorser. Though the relationship between the Presbytery Ministerial and Care of Candidates Committees are for the most part quite healthy and effective, a clearer and better understanding of the professional ministry vocation of chaplaincy was highlighted.

NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS

The 43rd General Assembly approved the following nominated CWCC Members:

RE Kendra Bowers, Presbytery of the Central South

TE Scott Kennaugh, Presbytery of the Midwest

TE Karen Bolte, Presbytery of the Pacific Southwest

RE Bruce Alexander, Presbytery of the New River

COMMITTEE MEMBER TRANSITIONS AND APPRECIATION

Committee member Darrel DeHaven is being transferred to Australia for 4 years to work on a nuclear power project. We appreciate Darrel’s insight and dedication to the work of the CWCC. He has been a great friend to the Chaplains and all of us on the CWCC, and we wish him the best on this next phase of his life.

PERSONAL REMARKS FROM CHAIRMAN BRUCE ALEXANDER

The CWCC consists of 9 members making up a diverse but dedicated and committed group. RE Kendra Bowers is a retired F-18 pilot from the US Navy where she became the first woman pilot to drop a bomb in combat. She lives in Lakeland, TN, where she works for the Navy as a civilian. TE Marty Carpenter is a Hospital Chaplain and a Police Chaplain in Clovis, CA, who brings loaves of her signature bread to each CWCC meeting and General Assembly. RE Darrel DeHaven, from Gig Harbor, WA is moving to Australia in June. He is a nuclear energy engineer with the Department of Energy and a retired Navy Officer. TE David Horton pastors an EPC Church in Trenton, TN. He has served in the US Marine Corps, the US Army, and the US Air Force, retiring as a Chaplain. TE Glen Holman serves as a hospital chaplain in Virginia, part-time pastor, and volunteer police chaplain, and will assume a leadership position in the New River Presbytery this year. TE Scott Kennaugh is an Active Duty Army Chaplain, serving at the US Army Chief of Chaplain’s Office in the Pentagon, TE Karen Bolte is a Hospital Chaplain in Sacramento, CA, and has recently started a business in grief counseling. TE David Snyder is a retired US Army Chaplain and lives near Dayton, OH. RE Bruce Alexander served 2 terms on the CWCC, took a 1-year break, and is now back on the committee. He retired from the US Army and Department of Homeland Security before moving to North Carolina. He is a charter member of the EPC. TE Mark Ingles serves as the EPC Chaplain Endorser and is an ex-officio member of the CWCC and has served as Chaplain Endorser for the past 12 years. He is a retired US Air Force Chaplain and one of the very first EPC Chaplains.

The CWCC has 2 main responsibilities; to interview Chaplain Applicants and recommend them for endorsement, and to maintain contact with our existing Chaplains, providing support and encouragement. Our Chaplains may be located anywhere in the world and frequently work and live where no EPC church exists. We may be their only contact with their denomination. Please remember our Chaplains in prayer as they minister to people who may not otherwise enter a church or hear the Gospel.

PERSONAL REMARKS FROM ENDORSER MARK INGLES

Chaplaincy continues to be the fastest-growing form of ministry in the US today. Chaplains offer ministry “beyond the walls” into secular environments, being at the forefront of ministry, and going to where people are, their very work centers and daily lives, that most in other types of ministry can’t go. They bring a continuity of presence as a guest and find themselves used by God to help those entrusted to them through some of the most difficult and challenging times in their lives, being directly available in their workplaces.

As highly skilled, trained, and godly professionals, it takes a combination of special qualities, strengths, and skills to be a chaplain. Chaplains complement the work of the Church by providing a reach to people who might not darken the door of a church yet yearn for some sort of spiritually anchored support (or just a listening ear and shoulder to lean on) in their life challenges.

Endorsement helps to ensure that all individuals seeking to serve as Chaplains are well vetted and suited for this specialized type of professional ministry. In essence, all Chaplains are always Teaching Elders (or commissioned), but not all Teaching or Commissioned Elders can always be Chaplains because of the nature of Chaplaincy. Our Endorsement process also helps to ensure that we are meeting the expectations of Institutions asking us to send them our “most qualified”, the “best of our best” to serve. The CWCC and I handle this critical process.

I thoroughly enjoy serving our chaplains. I could not be prouder of them as they continue to provide excellence in ministry amid secular environments that are not always very welcoming to chaplains, let alone, conservative, evangelical ones. Whether they are in ER rooms at midnight with distraught individuals and families, on the battlefield or aboard a Navy ship, bedside with those about to take their last breath, those incarcerated and lacking hope, distraught individuals needing comfort, or a myriad of other settings, Chaplains are there, as caring professionals, touched and Called by God to serve in these powerful ways. It is without doubt that the number of stories of the impact they have had on countless lives would fill volumes. Thank you for keeping them in your prayers; it’s vitally needed.
