Presbyterian Council for Chaplains and Military Personnel

OUR MISSION IS VITAL ... TO PROVIDE MILITARY PERSONNEL WITH A VISIBLE REMINDER OF THE HOLY IN THE MIDST OF COMBAT AND CHAOS!! PCCMP supports the worldwide communities of people in which our military personnel are serving; pastor our far-flung chaplains and support them in their ministry and touch the lives of the military soldier’s family.

SUPPORT FOR MILITARY MEMBERS

We are grateful for the wonderful support that has come from churches to chaplains and military members and their families. Many churches have connected with individual chaplains through our office seeking ways to support deployed military members. Our denominations have posted articles on supporting families while the military members are deployed. We’ve been collecting resources for families.

The following is an article that demonstrate the need for support for our military personnel and families:
