Welcome

Thank you for visiting the Alabama Army National Guard's Chaplain's Page.  I am proud to say that our chaplains are committed to the ministry to which they are called, and they are professionally trained to serve soldiers and their families.  Most of our chaplains are pastors of local churches, while others are prison chaplains or teachers.  Also, we now have a full-time chaplain at the Joint Forces Headquarters, Chaplain (CPT) Wylly Collins.  Thus the chaplaincy has a constant presence within the military family.

 

I borrow a phrase when I say that "we are here for you."  However, I am sincere in my desire to communicate that to you.  Whether you are already a soldier in the Alabama National Guard, a family member needing support, or one who is interested in becoming a chaplain or a chaplain's assistant, this page provides information and contacts to assist you.

 

The Alabama National Guard consists of the Army and Air components, and there are chaplains within both.  We are directly involved in the war against terrorism.  Since 911, chaplains from both the Army and Air National Guard have deployed to Iraq, Kuwait, and Germany.  As we face the future, it is certain that more chaplains will answer the call to duty. 

 

The Alabama National Guard is a wonderful place for one to serve both God and country.  Contact us at 334-213-7534.

 

May God bless you richly,

CH(COL) James D. (Jim) Reece
