Every community deserves someone who is trained to listen and offer spiritual care during difficult times. But many communities don’t have enough licensed chaplains ready to serve.
Hosting an I.F.O.C. class brings a proven training closer to home — and helps more people serve your community as licensed chaplains.

Questions?
1. What do I have to organize?
I.F.O.C. provides the training, instructors, materials, guidance, marketing, and an established process. The host helps provide a local space, a point of contact, and helps get the word out about the class to those who might be interested in attending.
2. Do I need to be a licensed chaplain to host?
Not at all. Anyone can host a Chaplain class.
3. What if I do not know how many people are interested?
You do not need a completed roster before contacting us. Local interest is one of the things we can discuss, and we have tools to help get the word out about your class.
4. How do I get the word out about our class?
You don’t have to be a professional marketer — you just need to reach out to your network of people and spread the word. You can enlist your network to spread the word to theirs. The best platforms to use include social media groups, your neighborhood, your church community, other church communities, networking groups, or a simple text message you send directly to your contacts.
