Required Core Training

To serve as a Chaplain under BCAFC (and the Federation of Fire Chaplains), completion of the Essentials of Chaplaincy Program is required. This foundational training ensures that all Chaplains are equipped with the essential knowledge, skills, and standards of practice. It is strongly recommended that Chaplains renew or update this core training every five years to stay current with best practices and evolving standards of care. Please contact [email protected] for current course offering details.

Additional Training

In addition to the Essentials program, a wide variety of additional training courses, webinars, and certification opportunities are available through the FFC. Members are encouraged to explore these ongoing professional development opportunities by visiting:
