The NCA is to serve as a national certifying body for aspirants of the ministry as Christian Chaplains. The NCA recognizes that chaplains serve in many fields of ministry not normally associated with denominational ministers (such as Pastors and Evangelists). Therefore, the NCA is a transdenominational organization that serves the entire Body of Christ. It is not the intent of the NCA to compete with any denomination or Church group. Rather, it is our desire to work with them to promote ministry to those that traditional churches sometimes overlook.

The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, inerrant, entirely trustworthy, and the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

The Trinitarian God of the Bible, one in substance, manifest in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

God the Father, the first person of the Divine Trinity, is infinite Spirit – sovereign, eternal, unchangeable in all His attributes. He is worthy of honor, adoration, and obedience.

The Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His divine miracles, His vicarious death on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead and His personal return in power and glory.

The Holy Spirit, by whose filling and indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to all believers; however, the manifestation of any particular gift is not required as evidence of salvation.

The salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, apart from works, a free gift of God’s grace, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. That the work completed at Calvary by our Lord provides a salvation that touches humanity: spirit, soul and body. The new birth for the spirit, a sound mind for the soul and healing for the body.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are given to the Church to touch a sin-sick world with the power of the Risen Savior.

The Fruit of the Spirit, through which His abiding produces a Christ-like character in the life of the believer.

Satan, who exists as a personal, malignant being who acts as a tempter and accuser, for whom the place of eternal punishment was prepared, where all who die outside of Christ shall be confined in conscious torment for eternity.

The unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ, which is commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.

The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation.
