- Respect the skills, contributions, and integrity of other chaplains and coaches in our network.
- Seek to find opportunities to collaborate with other chaplains and coaches in our network.
- Communicate and cooperate with Christian Chaplains & Coaching home office and seek ways for collaboration, partnership, and to contribute to ministry growth.
- Make it a priority to participate in Christian Chaplains & Coaching Zoom meetings and annual conferences to build community, teamwork, and relationships. Attend as often as possible. We hope for your annual attendance at our conference and will make it as affordable as possible. We recognize that not all can afford this or may have scheduling constraints. But please attend at least every 2 or 3 years if you can. Make as many monthly Zoom meetings as you can. It is in your best interest, and we want to see you in person!
- Be respectful to your own pastor and the leadership of Christian Chaplains & Coaching, accepting instruction from them and agreeing to be in submission to them as primary leaders.
