Creating a unified effort grounded in prayer to spiritually transform the schools and institutions of America!

When an organization needs to place a chaplain into a position, USFCN works with the organization to determine the criteria and needs such as the level of chaplain needed, expertise, and identified needs. USFCN then matches the chaplain to the position from their array of chaplains or networks with associated faith groups to fill the need. The chaplain is then placed into the position through the personnel system of the organization while the chaplain maintains a relationship with the Ecclesiastical Endorser and USFCN.
