October is Pastor Appreciation Month. We invite you to learn more about each of our chaplains and to "adopt" one for the month of October.
One of the most tangible ways to adopt one of our chaplains is to offer a financial gift — all of our chaplains pay an annual membership, some raise their expenses for ministry, while others raise their entire salary. In addition, Soccer Chaplains United is committed to offering one-on-one coaching and support for its chaplains as well as developing new opportunities.
We encourage you to adopt a chaplain and perhaps make a special gift and commit to pray for them this next month.

Soccer Chaplains United is always seeking to develop chaplains at all levels of soccer — from youth, to high school, to college, the pros, and beyond.
Currently, Soccer Chaplains United is working on three different placements.
It takes anywhere from $2000-$5000 to establish a new chaplaincy and then typical costs are around $5000 per year.
