The vision of Living Shield Ministries is to provide Christian chaplain services to not only law enforcement officers, firefighters, and their families, but to every sector of society throughout the city of Riverside (government, business, education, media, arts and entertainment, churches and families).  Living Shield Ministries collaborates with other chaplain ministries in providing training in Basic Chaplaincy, Critical Incident Stress Management, pastoral counseling, ordination, and then placing these chaplains into the different sectors of society.  Our chaplains will provide emotional and spiritual support and intervention to all people regardless of race, sex, creed or religion who have or are experiencing loss, confusion, depression, or grief due to a crisis situation in their life.  Providing chaplain services will help the individual maintain a healthier and more positive attitude toward their department or business, their family, and their community.  A better attitude means a better overall job performance, less sick time, less grievances, a happier administration, stronger marriages, better family relations, and a better community.  Living Shield Ministries will work at making the City of Riverside a model city for the rest of the State of California, as well as the nation to follow.  In time we will assist other cities in our state and across our nation in developing a similar chaplaincy program.
