Learning how to effectively serve your first-responders and your community.
Chaplains provide a vital service to law enforcement, fire departments, and other emergency responders. Not only do they support these
professionals, they bring comfort to people displaced by disaster or victimized by crime. But, WHO TRAINS THE CHAPLAINS? Often well-meaning pastors and ordained ministers must learn through the school of hard knocks. In addition, they often have the disadvantage of not
understanding the culture and stresses of law enforcement and emergency responders. The realities faced daily by police, firefighters and
paramedics differ markedly from the routines of most pastors. Yet with training, this gap can be bridged.
The First Responders Chaplaincy Training equips pastors, volunteers, and first responders to support professional protectors and their families in
relevant ways. It also gives insight into how chaplains can partner with responders to serve and comfort the community. Attendees will
receive an introduction into the perspective of law enforcers and emergency professionals.
The program offers a balance of instruction and practical exercises. We will work through real-life scenarios together to prepare for real-time
incidents in the field.
