I am so blessed to be the Pastor at First Baptist Church of Interlaken, NY but as an Ordained Chaplain, I also operate outside of a church. 

A Chaplain is considered a Minister in the workplace. The fundamental difference would be that I would respond to any situation, regardless of church membership, as a trained professional, who seeks to Comfort, and Counsel, while respecting Confidentiality.

If it is determined that long term care is still needed, I will help you by finding a care provider for the long haul, whether it is with me or not.

Chaplains are trained professionals providing meaningful, life changing service to the communities in which we live through involvement in every sector of community life, like health and welfare, education, transitional living, emergency service and governmental support.

​I am Certified by the International Fellowship of Chaplains in: Critical Incident Stress Management, P.T.S.D., Trauma, Grief and Loss, Human Trafficking, Divorce, Depression, Suicide, Disaster Relief, Death Notification and Counseling, Confidentiality, and Ethics and Law.

I am also trained in:
-Individual Crisis Intervention and Peer Support.
-Life Coaching
-Bible at AMES International School of Ministry
-Ames Christian University
