About CAP Chaplains
Under the guidance of both the U.S. Air Force Chaplain Corps and the corporate leadership, CAP chaplains carry out a ministry of presence in the units they serve. They are reminders of the presence of God in community and crisis. The chaplain is a member of the commander's staff, serving as advisor to the commander and his/her staff on matters of religion, morale, cadet protection, ethics and the well being of CAP members under his/her command. CAP chaplains also provide support to Active-Duty, Reserve and Guard units in many locations.
CAP chaplains meet the same general qualifications of Active Duty and Reserve military chaplains, and are endorsed by denominational chaplain commissions approved by the Department of Defense Armed Forces Chaplain's Board.
About Character Development Instructors
Character Development Instructors serve under the mentorship of an assigned
Unit Chaplain or Wing Chaplain helping to provide the character development
training required of all CAP cadets. Character Development Instructors do not
provide ministerial services and are not protected by the same clergy confidentiality
laws as chaplains.
The Pacific Region Chaplain Corps comprises approximately
124 chaplains and Character Development Instructors in six wings (Alaska, Washington,
Oregon, California, Nevada and Hawaii).
