Who We Train
Guardian Chaplains provides education to men and women who are called to serve as chaplains in any frontline or ‘street’ ministry, or in active support of first responders and disaster relief teams. Our primary focus is to equip chaplains to serve in emergency services, supporting individuals and the work done by society’s guardians: law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, rescue and disaster relief workers, and combat veterans.
Role of a Guardian Chaplain
Guardian Chaplains offer emotional, spiritual, and physical support and interventions during challenging times and circumstances. As guardians to society’s guardians, our chaplains are committed to serving selflessly in this era when this type of personal and community support is desperately needed.
Guardian Chaplains is fulfilling its mission to equip those willing to be the ‘hands and feet of Jesus’ during these rapidly changing and volatile times. With your help, we will reach our goal of training 35,000 chaplains within the next five years.
