Chaplain Fellowship Ministries Holds all Members Accountable For Their Action - Without Accountability There Is No Credibility

Unscriptural conduct, failure to maintain membership requirements in good standing, or doctrinal departure from the tenets of faith, shall be considered sufficient grounds upon which any member may be disqualified and removed as a member of Chaplain Fellowship Ministries. Such discipline shall be prayerfully administered according to Scriptures by the governing board of directors (Matt. 18:15-17; Rom. 16:17; 1 Cor. 5:9-13; 2 Thess. 3:6). Members agree to the following: If any member is ever charged with a criminal act/sexual misconduct or assault, ethical misconduct "Conduct unbecoming of a chaplain or minister" that this document authorizes their employer or volunteer chaplaincy organization to release all information to Chaplain Fellowship Ministries or their designated investigating agency.

I hereby certify that the above information is true to the best of my knowledge. I understand that Chaplain Fellowship Ministries or affiliate ministries will be relying upon this information to grant me approval regarding ordination, license and endorsement. I acknowledge that any significant and material misstatements made by me will be just cause to deny membership, license, ordination or endorsement. Should any of my responses to these statements change I will immediately notify the home office of Chaplain Fellowship ministries. Every member of Chaplain Fellowship Ministries must agree to commit themselves to the responsibility of living within the established standards of the agreement within this application for membership. When a member fails to meet the responsibilities upon which they have agreed, then there is a need to hold the individual accountable. The purpose for accountability and discipline is to provide an opportunity for understanding, personal growth, and development. We believe that all members should want to help build up the Lords' ministry by recruiting new members, thereby acknowledging that no institution can stand or be of full service unless all members accept some responsibility for the welfare of the ministry. It is our prayer and hope that you as a new member will feel the same and consider helping us in the mission and vision the Lord has given us. "A ministry of His people".
