All About CSN

In 1988 Firefighter/EMT/Pastor Bill Lotz started a chaplain program with Benton County Fire Dist#1 and Kennewick Fire. Over the next 20 years, and with the sponsorship of Tri-Cities Chaplaincy (Now Chaplaincy Healthcare), the program expanded to include many regional fire/rescue and law enforcement agencies and a several teams of volunteer chaplains taking care of crisis victims and emergency response personnel. In 2016 a new 501c3 agency was formed to sponsor the fire/rescue/police chaplain work.

Today, Chaplain Services Network works with 13 regional fire/rescue & law enforcement agencies providing crisis ministry to firefighters, EMS, police, and other agencies providing critical care as well as to the public they serve.

We also provide nationally certified training in Critical Incident Stress Management, Stress Resiliency, Peer Support, Fire/Police Chaplaincy, and Disaster Relief Chaplaincy.

This first newsletter issue is simply an introduction to Chaplain Services Network, but there is much more to come!

Coming issues will offer helpful articles on fire/rescue/police life. Watch for articles on Stress Management, Fire/Police family life, Resiliency, and more.
