why we exist
The Canadian Practical Chaplain Association was established for the purpose of recruiting, training and supporting men and women who wish to serve God in various fields of Chaplaincy. The CPCA is a not for profit organization.
​
Our primary goal is to interface with both ministerial and secular worlds for the purpose of promoting tolerance and understanding, and to provide professional, trained and dedicated Chaplains to the workforce. We accomplish this by providing training, recognition and certification for working Chaplains in various fields of Chaplaincy.
​
There are several areas of Chaplaincy. Many people are involved in ministries that are actually Chaplaincy and don't realize it. They lack 3 things in order to be a Chaplain:
​
Training
Certification
Credentials
​
The CPCA endorses all types of Chaplaincy and recognizes the needs for coverage. Some areas of coverage are:
​
Collegiate Fire Hospice Industrial Jail & Prison Military Motorcycle
​
Surfing Police Search & Rescue Sports Transportation
​
If you are working in an area of Chaplaincy not listed, please contact us. We will determine if it falls within one of our programs.
