MINISTRY OUTREACH

Public Safety Ministries utilizes a traditional emergency services chaplaincy philosophy, it is a ministry of presence, service and relationships. We provide a Faith based presence at numerous public safety gatherings every month. We also provide a Public Safety based presence at numerous church and faith community gatherings. It is our presence and service at these gatherings that helps us build faith based relationships with organizations and individuals who often have no formal church or similar faith community affiliations. It is through these relationships, that proactive and reactive spiritual health care services are provided to those in need.
