Air Force Chaplain Corps  
Join the Air Force

tabUnited States Air Force Chaplain Corps 
A Global Ministry
Air Force people live and work around the world serving our country. Chaplains serve side-by-side with them, leading worship services and observances, providing pastoral care, and advising leadership as they magnify the Air Force Chaplain Corps vision of Glorifying God, Serving Airmen, and Pursuing Excellence.

Interfaith - Multicultural Air Force
Life as an Air Force chaplain is both exciting and rewarding. As members of a multicultural community, chaplains provide ministry to persons of their own faith group, yet also act as guardians of the free exercise of religion for all Air Force members and their families.

Core Values
Chaplains combine the roles of clergy and military officer while upholding the standards of the Air Force Core Values: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. Each year about 35,000 new people enter the Air Force. Not all share the same values. The ministry and officership of the chaplain helps instill the personal ethical standards that provide a strong foundation for the Air Force Core Values.

All Faiths Needed
The Air Force accepts endorsed and qualified applicants from every faith to include: Roman Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox Christian, Jewish and Muslim clergy. To qualify, you must have an ecclesiastical endorsement.
