Mississippi Baptist Chaplains’ Association
The Mississippi Baptist Chaplains’ Association relates to persons serving pastoral care roles in hospitals and health care facilities,
industries, correctional facilities, military, rehabilitation, public safety, and other institutions. The Association is set up to afford
members an opportunity for professional growth, communication and fellowship.
Chaplains who serve in positions both volunteer and compensated, or who served in such positions at the time of their retirement, are
invited to join by paying the current dues of $20.00 per year and attending events scheduled. Chaplains can join the Association at any
scheduled event.
