The Cowlitz Chaplaincy is committed to:

Providing support services to Police/Fire/EMS personnel and their families

Providing crisis intervention support to the community in times of need

Providing relational, emotional and spiritual support to anyone (regardless of faith base) upon request

Chaplains serve free of charge, by invitation in three specific areas: emotional, relational, and spiritual. Chaplains are not police officers/firefighters, they serve as CARE givers.

Upon request, Chaplains respond to these types of events/scenes:

* Homicide or suicide                                        * Search & Rescue scene

* Serious auto accident                                     * Hostage situation

* Domestic violence                                           * Fire scene

* SIDS/death of a child                                      * Line of Duty injury/death
