Successful commanders have discovered that effective use of their Religious Ministry Teams (RMTs) has a positive impact on readiness, moral, and family support issues. They also understand that an effective Command Religious Program (CRP) and the spiritual care that chaplains provide are irreplaceable on the battlefield. Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 6-12C, The Commander's Handbook for Religious Ministry Support, is a commonsense guide designed for field grade commanders to help facilitate their CRP and to empower their chaplains and RMTs. As a part of the Marine Corps Religious Ministry family of publications, it summarizes information contained in Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 6-12, Religious Ministry Support in the U.S. Marine Corps, which is crucial for commanders to become leaders in their CRP.

What’s new about this third edition of the long respected and often used Church Administration Handbook? In addition to time and technological-sensitive updates to the basic organizational details, editor Bruce Powers writes: “The needs of people and churches have continued to change, with questions now being raised about the quality of congregational life, nature of leadership, and responsibility for ministry among all believers . . . As we have prepared this edition, we have sought to address five primary needs. 1. Leadership skills and administrative tools that can be adapted for use in a variety of contexts from traditional to contemporary, from rural to urban, and from unicultural to multicultural settings; 2. Spiritual formation that relates to all of life (from birth to death); 3. Mission consciousness (in community, regionally, nationally, and globally); 4. Ministry of all believers (particularly calling out and equipping vocational, bivocational, and lay ministers); and 5. Leadership competence (the ability to inspire, motivate, and equip the saints for the work of ministry).”
