"Reaching out to veterans in need."
We must remember that the VFW is comprehensive in nature, embracing all religions and faith groups. The Chaplaincy, being non-sectarian, must minister to the spiritual needs of all, without regard to either church/synagogue/mosque affiliation or non-affiliation. The Chaplain will need to provide ministry to people wherever there is a need.

- To help persons grow in their relationship with God
- To help persons grow in their relationships to one another and become a true brother/sister to one another
- To develop an environment in that brothers and sisters are encouraged in their personal and collective moral and spiritual growth
- To remind all that God is the source of all rights and privileges
Duties and Responsibilities:
- To listen and provide aid and spiritual comfort in times of stress, sickness, or bereavement
