APC / BCCI Renewal Instructions
Please note: Because BCCI is a subsidiary of APC, the IRS requires invoices for APC Dues and BCCI Fees to be kept separate. If you are a certified chaplain with BCCI and an APC member, you will have two (2) separate invoices to pay (one in your APC Profile and one in your BCCI Certification Portal).
APC Members receive a discount on their BCCI applications and fees, in addition to other APC Member Benefits. If you choose to let your APC Membership lapse/do not renew, your BCCI Fees will increase.
Before starting the renewal process, please review and update all contact information in your APC Profile (e.g., work, email, phone, etc.). Due to the threat of malware many institutions block outside email addresses, a personal email is a better option.
