Guardians Ministry exists to provide care, support, and encouragement to those individuals who are called to protect and serve our communities and nation, including correction officers, police, firefighters, military personnel, dispatchers, emergency medical service personnel, nurses, and their families. Recognizing the unique challenges, sacrifices, and stresses faced by these dedicated servants, our ministry is committed to coming alongside them with Christ-centered compassion and practical assistance.

Professional and Christ‑centered support through listening, prayer, and triaging of care needs to help members access the most appropriate support—whether through pastoral care, one of our existing ministries, or referrals to outside resources.
