The mission of the BC Association of Fire Chaplains is to bring together persons interested in providing an effective Chaplain Service: to give aid, comfort and help to firefighters and their families; to work toward the betterment of all areas of the fire and emergency service; to serve God; to aid humanity, our communities, our government, our religions, our Province and Country; to enhance the quality of life; to help mankind in developing their most noble characteristic-that of serving others; to help bring about a better understanding among all people with mutual harmony and respect regardless of one’s level of authority; and to achieve a single healing, unifying spirit of love for God and each other.
The BCAFC is non-sectarian, non-denominational, and calls for no compromise of either individual beliefs or convictions. Our first responsibility is to God, and second, to humanity.
As Fire Chaplains, our work is not limited to the area of fire departments, firefighters, communities, or victims of the devastating ravages of fire or other crises. We shall strive to help ease the suffering of our fellow human beings wherever our paths shall lead. However, as a base for our work, we have chosen the Fire Service, and fire victims, whose suffering is that most beyond description.
The members of the BCAFC believe that by bringing persons together to provide an effective response to Crisis Situations, by training, responding, in the work of the Chaplain, we will be able to achieve the goal of serving God and Humanity.
This, with God’s help, we will strive to do.

The BCAFC is deeply saddened following the senseless deaths and multiple injuries sustained during the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver on April 26th. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and the Filipino-Canadian community impacted by this terrible tragedy. Walking with first responders, we recognize the long-reaching and devastating effects of trauma on individuals and communities as a whole. We pray that the families, first responders and those closely related to the beloved Filipino community will find the support they need to heal (physically, emotionally and spiritually). May God’s peace, which transcends all understanding, be with those who mourn. The Filipino Community continues to be a vital and much-loved part of the multicultural tapestry in British Columbia.
