The data that launched school chaplaincy in the USA

NSCA’s school chaplaincy data from 23 countries helped establish “The Texas Chaplain Act,” codifying chaplains in Texas Public Schools. This historic legislation was signed into law on June 18th, 2023. In 2024 other states filed and passed their own “School chaplain bills,” including Florida and Louisiana.

  • Chaplains do not replace the role of licensed professional counselors. Every institution that employs chaplains also employs counselors; the roles complement each other and do not compete. If utilizing a counselor alone provided complete and holistic care of staff and employees, why do all these institutions also hire chaplains?

  • Chaplains do not represent the church; they represent God. A chaplain's goals are very different from those of a pastor. A pastor's goal is to get you to come to church. A chaplain has no such goal, as they represent the institution they are employed by and serve under the policies enacted by the institution itself. Chaplains provide consent-based holistic care to all people no matter their beliefs.

School chaplaincy is a solution that brings God’s agency into difficult situations. Chaplains have addressed critical societal issues in every U.S. Sector.

Chaplaincy isn’t a new or experimental idea; it’s a proven role administered in every U.S. Sector.
