The primary mission of the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy is to provide pastoral care and counseling for employees and families of law enforcement and emergency service agencies, as well as the general public whose lives have changed suddenly and forever due to a violent act or unexpected tragedy. Please explore our website to learn more about our organization it's history, purpose and how you can become involved.
The Chaplaincy is a Judeo-Christian organization that works closely with all law enforcement and emergency agencies and personnel in the Charleston area to provide assistance during emergency situations. These include murders, suicides, shootings, fires, including the fire at the Sofa Super Store on June 18, 2007 where nine Charleston firefighters died, and similar critical events. From its beginning with one Chaplain (Rev. Rob Dewey) the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy has grown to its present strength of three full time Chaplains and about a dozen volunteer Chaplains that provide pastoral care and counseling 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
