CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

Our Hospital Chaplaincy and Consultation work is done by Russ Corley and Pat Ward. We work (1) with patients and families to provide support during a hospitalization and (2) outside the hospital environment with individuals, families, and churches in crisis. Our Teaching/Training Program is an effort to educate others in an approach to ministry that emphasizes communication and the building of strong and supportive relationships in a time of crisis. Our practical experience of working with church leaders during a crisis has allowed us to more clearly apply and refine principles of leadership in stabilizing a crisis situation and encouraging hope. We desire to serve others in the future as they face leadership challenges at an institutional level.
