Chaplaincy ministry is flourishing in Colorado and we desire for you to join us in this unique ministry of reaching and touching others in the name of Christ.

· Healthcare settings (Hospitals, hospice, nursing homes, etc.)
· Correctional Facilities (Prisons and jails)
· Law Enforcement (Police, Sheriff and State Patrol)
· Resort settings
· Truck Stops
· Fire Departments
· Military facilities
