Representative Denominations in The RAChD
Chaplains are either classified as Jewish (currently only in the Territorial Army) or as a member of one of the following seven Christian denominational groups:
- Anglican (Church of England, Church of Ireland, Church in Wales and Scottish Episcopal Church)
- Presbyterian (Church of Scotland and Presbyterian Church in Ireland)
- Roman Catholic Church
- Methodist Church
- United Board, incorporating the Baptist Church, United Reformed Church and Congregational Church
- Elim Pentecostal Church
- Assemblies of God
However, an Army chaplain is expected to minister to and provide pastoral care to any soldier who needs it, no matter their denomination or faith or lack of it.
Most large stations have an Anglican chaplain, a Roman Catholic chaplain, and a third chaplain from a Presbyterian or Nonconformist denomination. Most battalions or s] have their own chaplain.
