NACPA provides one clear voice for all those serving the Church with HR responsibilities. NACPA membership is the essential component to complement basic SHRM and HRCI support. We help our members see HR through the lens of the Church, resulting in faith-based decisions and promoting justice in the workplace. 

Our Mission

The National Association of Church Personnel Administrators (NACPA) promotes leadership in human resources, finance and administration that models Gospel values, promoting justice in the workplace.

To accomplish our mission we promote comprehensive church personnel systems which integrate Catholic social teaching and sound management principles; strengthen working relationships among Church leaders, ministers and employees; develop church personnel and human resource skills and competence and commit to excellence through Gospel values.
