Military & Veteran Church Ministry
The military is a culture unlike any other. It brings challenges, temptations, and struggles that are unique to its mission. Uncovering what these issues are and addressing them is vital for churches and organizations that are connected to those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces.
To assist civilian ministry in this effort, the Presbyterian & Reformed Chaplain Commission (PRCC) offers resources to make the gospel relevant and accessible to military life. What we provide is based on the beliefs (a) that overcoming any challenge in life begins by turning to Christ, and (b) that apart from the enlightenment of the Word and the regenerative work of the Spirit a person will not find their greatest purpose, peace of mind or recovery from sin or afflictions. With this vision, we hope this booklet will prove enlightening in understanding issues confronting military members while pointing to how God can enter and bring hope. Please give your feedback on what we offer or should consider offering as we are open to how we can better refine this ministry and make a greater impact in the kingdom of God.
This pamphlet provides a pressing call for churches to engage in military and veteran ministry by helping its members and our nation understand justice in war. This insight, central to church doctrine and its calling, is missing. We want this material to give insight into how the Church can find its place to support its people.
