Army West Point Chaplains

The Army Chaplain Corps is organized to provide responsive religious support at all levels across the full range of Army operations. Religious support includes providing essential elements of religion to include worship, religious rites, sacraments and ordinances, holy days and observances, pastoral care and counseling, and religious education.

The Services maintain chaplaincies to accommodate religious needs, provide religious and pastoral care, and advise commanders on the complexities of religion regarding its personnel and mission, as appropriate. As military members, chaplains are uniquely positioned to assist Service members, their families, and other authorized personnel with the challenges of military service as advocates of religious, moral, ethical, and spiritual well-being and resiliency.

Authorities The US Constitution, law, and policy support the free exercise of religion. Military commanders are responsible to provide for the free exercise of religion of those under their authority. Religious support (RS) to the personnel of each Service is the responsibility of their Service component commander with the joint force commander (JFC) providing guidance and oversight.

The West Point Chaplains were nominated to serve the future leaders of America. As Active-Duty Army Chaplains, we provide religious support to the United States Corps of Cadets and advise the command and leadership on all matters pertaining to religion, morals, morale, and ethics.
