About the Division
Serving those who serve our country comes with a unique set of challenges—and opportunities for meaningful impact. The Military Counseling Division (MCD) exists to equip Christian counselors, chaplains, and caregivers to provide compassionate, Christ-centered care for military service members and their families.
This division is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness of those working in military contexts by offering insight, connection, and encouragement. Whether you’re already serving in this space or feel called to begin, you’ll gain practical tools and valuable perspectives from experienced military chaplains and counselors who understand the complexities of military life.
Join us and become part of a supportive community committed to strengthening those who stand on the front lines.
