The New York State Association of Protestant Chaplains strives to ensure the welfare of those engaged in professional religious ministry to institutionalized and deinstitutionalized persons in New York State. We are not inclusive of Chaplains serving NYS’s agencies and welcome all non-state employed Chaplains to become NYSAPC members as well. The Association gathers for an annual education conference and gives direction and perspective to the mutual ministries of its members.
There are different categories of membership with an appropriate membership fee based on employment, etc. The types of membership and fees are explained on the Membership Form linked below.
Annual Membership Fees may be paid online at the link below or a completed membership form and check may be sent to the office of New York State Council of Churches at 85 Chestnut St. Albany, NY 12210.
