A Chaplaincy Ministry of Give a Smile Today
Smile Chaplains Network is a Christ-centered program under the Give a Smile Today Foundation, created to train, commission, and support chaplains who are passionate about providing holistic spiritual care in today’s complex and hurting world.
Rooted in the biblical call to be ambassadors of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20), SCN exists to equip both clergy and trained laypersons to serve as chaplains in hospitals, prisons, schools, corporate settings, the military, and disaster zones, among others. These chaplains operate not only as caregivers but as evangelistic bridges, bringing healing and hope to people from all walks of life through presence, compassion, and the power of the Gospel.

Membership is open to:
- Certified Chaplains with formal training in chaplaincy.
- Chaplain Trainees currently undergoing training.
