Serving Those Who Serve Others

Officer wellness is our primary focus. We are available for visits to sick/injured officers, their families, special events, special services, critical incidents, officer ride alongs, etc.

Our holistic approach to life’s issues makes us truly instruments of the Lord. The office of chaplain exists parallel with the establishment of this country. When General George Washington, on July 1st 1776, requested of Congress to appoint chaplains to serve under him in the military, Congress responded eight days later: “The Honorable Continental Congress having been pleased to allow a chaplain to each regiment, the colonels or commanding officers of each regiment are directed to procure chaplains accordingly—persons of good character and exemplary lives…”!

The Flower City Chaplain Corps, Inc. exists as a non-governmental organization dedicated to confidentially providing a ministry of healing and comfort to Law Enforcement and First Responders within the city of Rochester, Monroe County and beyond. Coming from a variety of backgrounds and serving on a voluntary basis, Flower City chaplains seek to sustain those in crisis, support those in need and enhance the effectiveness of our police, firefighters, EMT’s, other public servants and those that they protect and serve. As spiritual and social beings the healing of the soul and spirit, the reestablishing of authentic relationships with other people and the restoration of the whole person requires something more. We provide counseling to individuals regardless of religious or non-religious affiliation.
