Serving those who serve us.
The Chaplain Mission
To provide emotional, physical, and spiritual support to police/fire personnel and their families.
RMPFC Philosophy
Chaplains should be a vital aspect of each and every Emergency Responder agency.
Chaplains should be trusted and valued by their respected agencies. The Chaplain’s relationships with Officers, Firefighters, Support Staff and Families should be a priority through their daily activity and interaction. Because of these trusted and valued relationships, the Chaplains should be the individuals that are relied upon in moments of crisis.
Chaplains should be capable of providing safe and confidential support in both preventative interaction and in the midst of the challenging situations and circumstances that will impact every member of the Emergency Responder world.
EXCELLENCE IN
TRAINING
RMPFC has developed a Rocky Mountain Chaplain Training Standard. This clearly defines basic level training expectations as well as ongoing training levels for all Chaplains.
Chaplains must be prepared for every situation.
All active Chaplains should be trained to an appropriate level of competence.
ACCOUNTABILITY
RMPFC will provide additional accountability within agencies. We will not replace the primary accountability structure within current agencies but will provide ongoing and additional connection points for chaplains. This accountability will ensure ongoing growth, consistent expectations and maintain a high level of maturity and character for individual chaplains.
COLLABORATIVE
EFFORTS
RMPFC is a collaborative group of chaplains currently serving Emergency Responder agencies.
This is founded on the “more minds are better than one” idea. The goal is to constantly provide shared materials, resources, personnel and training.
You are not in this alone. There is a group of like-minded chaplains serving with you.
A shared resource mindset will increase our effectiveness as we serve our Law Enforcement community.
Chaplains must be prepared for every situation.
All active Chaplains should be trained to an appropriate level of competence.
PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT
RMPFC can assist with the development of new chaplain programs.
We will provide needed guidelines, structure and strategy to initiate an effective chaplain program. Every agency is different and every agency will have a unique culture.
However, there are always specific non-negotiables in the establishment of a chaplain program.
CRISIS RESPONSE
RMPFC will come alongside participating chaplains to support and serve them and their agency in the midst of a large crisis incident. This response is specific to Emergency Responder personnel and their families. When a crisis requires more assistance than current chaplain teams can manage, we will be available, upon request, to respond with known and qualified RMPFC affiliated chaplains.
