Cowlitz County Chaplaincy

The Chaplaincy is a 501c.3 non-profit ministry dedicated to providing professional support to Emergency/Police/Fire personnel and their families as well as public citizens in times of crisis.  They provide free relational, emotional and/or spiritual support (regardless of faith base).  They bring God's love and grace into the 'dark times' of people's lives.
