Chaplains come along side those in need and overall concern for the emotional and spiritual support of all, regardless of faith, gender, ethnicity, culture, level of devotion to religiosity, background, absence of faith, lifestyle or circumstances. Chaplains are present for all!
The focus is not simply on those who respond to the chaplain’s presence, but to all persons within the chaplain’s sphere of influence. Chaplains are expected to provide spiritual and emotional ministry to all these persons regardless of their faith group as well as those of the chaplain’s particular faith group. Most organizations expect the chaplain to facilitate the free exercise of religion within their organization. Simply stated, the chaplain is to ensure that all persons have access to appropriate expression of their chosen faith group.

What Guides Me
Personal Mission Statement
Personal Mission Statement
Personal Mission Statement
I have spent over 36 years in lay ministry, in service of the Lord, and am confident that He is calling me to do more to serve in His kingdom on earth. Two verses in the Bible are my inspiration for serving, both are Jesus talking to His disciples with regard to how to treat others in our walk with God; John 13: 34-35 and John 21:15-17.

As a follower of Jesus, I have the blessing to go and teach His message, in word and deed. There is no greater message then the saving Grace and love of our Heavenly Father and the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ the Lord.
Story of Salvation
Personal Mission Statement
Story of Salvation
While sitting in Church one day, I came to a realization of how the gift of the atonement was working in my life and why my relationship with God and Jesus had changed so much after understanding the fullness of Grace and grace’s relationship with works. I wrote the following:
When my obedience drove my faith and my obedience failed, so did my faith. Now that my faith drives my obedience and when my obedience fails, my faith in the Atonement of Christ grows stronger.
