Region 6

Welcome Region 6 

We are thrilled to welcome you to Region 6.
Region 6 is a strong and supportive network of chaplains who are committed to serving first responders, their families, and local communities with compassion and professionalism. Together, we work to encourage one another and strengthen the mission of chaplaincy.
 
As a member of Region 6, you gain opportunities for networking, leadership development, training, and fellowship with others who share your dedication to service.
Your involvement plays an important role in helping us continue to provide meaningful support to those who serve on the front lines every day.
No matter where you are in your chaplaincy journey, you are a valued part of this community.
 
We encourage you to participate in regional events, connect with fellow members, and take advantage of the many opportunities available within Region 6.
