About My Ministry
I serve as an SBC-endorsed volunteer chaplain with Griffin Fire District 13 in Thurston County, Washington. My ministry involves providing support to agency employees, volunteers, victims, and community members. I am also an active member of Northwest Southern Baptist Disaster Relief as well as the Chaplains Association for Public Safety, Thurston County.
SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
