What Chaplaincy of Full Gospel Churches, Inc. does

Chaplaincy of Full Gospel Churches, Inc. (CFGC) is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit organization operating as a ministry of the Convention of Full Gospel Churches, headquartered in Cedar Hill, Texas. Founded in 1984, CFGC functions as an endorsing agency that provides official credentialing for Full Gospel, Charismatic, Holy Spirit-empowered chaplains seeking to serve in specialized secular environments. The organization is approved by the Department of Defense to endorse military chaplains since 1984 and is additionally recognized by the Veterans Administration and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, as well as other governmental and private institutions employing chaplains in correctional, law enforcement, emergency response, healthcare, education, and workplace settings.

CFGC's single core offering is chaplain endorsement, supported by an ongoing community layer — prayer, mentoring, guidance, and annual training meetings — that the organization describes as a 'family' for endorsed chaplains. The supply pipeline draws from a network of more than 500 autonomous, affiliated Full Gospel churches across the United States, which serve as a referral and recruitment base for prospective chaplains. Distribution occurs through direct application via the CFGC website and institutional relationships with government agencies that employ chaplains.

The business model is donation-driven rather than commercial. CFGC does not charge fees for endorsement services; revenue consists of charitable contributions from individuals and affiliated churches, accepted via a PayPal-hosted donation portal. The organization maintains a small physical office in Cedar Hill, TX, with no disclosed headcount, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI/ML capabilities. Marketing is conducted through the official website and organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube).
