Answering The Call

When dispatch calls, anytime day or night, we must be ready to answer the call, prepared for the unknown, prepared for the uncertain and myriad of unfortunate events we are likely to face.

Charles Shultz once said, “life has a way of slapping you down.”

As chaplains, we are on scene for anyone feeling as though they have been sucker-punched or slapped; our goal being to love our neighbors, helping them practically and giving them hope. And for our treasured first responders, we are there to help them to go home at night, sensing that we made life a little easier for them.

Since our founding in 1996, by conservative estimates, we have assisted more than 40,000 individuals.
