The Race Track Chaplaincy of America, Inc. is an evangelical, interdenominational, Christian organization whose purpose is to minister to those persons involved in all aspects of the horse racing industry.  A Board of Directors who serves voluntarily, without compensation guides this non-profit, tax-exempt Corporation.  The Ministry of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America, Inc. is carried out by Chaplains who are employed, supported, and supervised by Local Councils that take responsibility for the work on a particular track or group of tracks.  In order to provide the horse racing industry with the best possible pastoral care, the RTCA, Inc. seeks to employ as Chaplains only those ministers who meet the highest standards of spiritual maturity, personal integrity, commitment, concern, education, training, and abilities.  The Local Councils are comprised of both clergy and laypersons from the surrounding community and from the racing industry.  These individuals serve voluntarily, out of a sense of commitment to the vision of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America, Inc.

The primary focus of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America, Inc. is to serve all those who are involved in the horse racing industry; this includes those found in the stable area, on the track, in the front offices, in the grandstands or clubhouse, at a training facility, or on a breeding farm, including horse owners and racing fans.

The Ministry of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America, Inc. is based upon the belief that it is God’s desire that every person, including those in the horse racing industry, should have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, resulting in a life that is full and abundant in its nature and eternal in its scope.  Built upon that belief, the work of the Race Track Chaplaincy of America, Inc. is holistic in its approach; ministering not only to the spiritual needs of those in the horse racing industry, but to their physical, emotional and social needs as well.
