DINFOS Chaplain Office

The Chaplain's Office serves students, faculty and staff in support of religious accommodation, spiritual fitness and leadership advisement. Responsible to the Commandant, the chaplain assists all DINFOS personnel of any religious affiliation or no affiliation. Military members have the right to privileged communication with the chaplain, which guarantees one hundred percent confidentiality in private conversations. 

The chaplain may facilitate prayer groups, bible studies, resilience programs, etc., in response to the religious and spiritual needs of the DINFOS community, and the chaplain may offer faith-group specific services according to the chaplain’s religious endorsement.

Regularly scheduled religious worship services are offered by the Fort Meade Garrison Chapel, which operates in three locations: Main Post Chapel, Argonne Hills Chapel and Cavalry Chapel. See the Garrison Chaplain Services tab for details. 

Student detachments are responsible for transportation of students to/from religious services. Contact detachment leadership for "duty driver" information. The Garrison Chaplain also provides 24/7 duty chaplain services.
