Chaplains

Our mission as chaplains in the state of New York is to minister to the entire community as a conglomerate of churches.  We put aside denominational differences and minor doctrinal issues to serve our community while hoping that some would submit to Christ.  We do hold that certain fundamental beliefs are necesssary for a God ordained ministry.  We are chaplains under the jurisdiction of  Chaplain Fellowship Ministries International  based in Temple Texas.  It is our vision that we would continue to have a powerful effect serving our police and fire departments, hospitals, jails, prisons, and the populace at large.

“What is needed to-day is not a new gospel, but live men and women who can re-state the Gospel of the Son of God in terms that will reach the very heart of our problems” (Oswald Chambers)
