Spiritual care first, regardless of affiliation
A 501(c)(3), Christian, faith-based ministry built to supplement or launch chaplain programs where first responders serve.
Standing alongside, not standing over
StoneShield Ministries provides pastoral care and counseling to first responders, their families, and the communities they serve — in critical moments and in the ongoing work of recovery. We supplement existing chaplain programs, or help departments build one from scratch.
Regardless of a responder's religious background, we believe their spiritual well-being comes first. Where a conflict of faith exists, we'll refer that person to the appropriate religious representative and help coordinate their care — because getting someone the right support matters more than who provides it.
