You answer the call.
We stand alongside you.
Confidential pastoral care and counseling for police officers, firefighters, EMS, dispatch, and their families — in the moment of crisis and through the long season of recovery that follows. Faith-based. Independent of the department. Always on call.
Care that meets the moment, and stays for the aftermath
Critical-Need Response
Direct, confidential pastoral support after a line-of-duty death, use of force, mass casualty call, or any critical incident that shakes a crew.
Ongoing Counseling & Aftercare
Marriage mentoring, SYMBIS-facilitated relationship care, and continuing counseling long after the initial crisis has passed.
Chaplain Development
We help departments start a chaplaincy program from the ground up, or supplement and strengthen the one already in place.
Faith-based. Confidential. Independent of the department.
Because our ministerial covering sits outside any department chain of command, everything shared with us stays confidential — a genuine alternative to an employee assistance program. We serve every responder regardless of religious affiliation, and where a conflict exists, we'll gladly connect you with the appropriate faith leader rather than leave you without care.
No one at StoneShield draws a salary. Every dollar given goes toward the operation of the ministry itself.
“The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.”Romans 13:4 · New Living Translation
