Why we exist

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.
