Thank you, Chaplains!
Our 2026 I.F.O.C. Connections Conference was our best one yet.
We saw good friends, met new ones, talked, encouraged, shared stories, prayed for one another, worshipped, and strengthened our walk with Jesus. It was a perfect reminder that relationships are at the heart of why we gather at Connections!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need to register for the pre-conference ICISF classes?
If you plan to attend either or both of the ICISF pre-conference training, you will need to add them to your registration at checkout.
2. Are meals included?
No. This year, we’ve built extended lunch and dinner breaks into the schedule so you have flexibility to eat on your own or with fellow chaplains.
3. Can I attend if I’m not yet an I.F.O.C. Chaplain?
Yes! Recent graduates of the I.F.O.C. Training Class (within 60 days) are welcome while they are working on their application packet.
4. What certificates will I receive?
All conference attendees receive an I.F.O.C. Training Certificate on Saturday evening. If you register for the optional pre-conference classes, you’ll also receive ICISF Training Certificates for each course you complete (Peer ParaCounseling and/or Resilient Leadership). These are internationally recognized ICISF certifications.
