ABOUT KYFFC
We Are Always Ready Day And Night
At KYFFC, we believe in a loving and compassionate God who continuously offers guidance and care to those who protect and serve the public. Our chaplains provide support to firefighters, police officers, and other public servants, offering the spiritual care and encouragement they need to cope with the stress of their responsibilities.
Our chaplains are trained to work in a non-denominational setting, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of faith, receive the support they need. We believe in the importance of being well-prepared, educated, and capable of addressing the diverse spiritual needs of our civil servants. Through education, advocacy, and ministry, we serve those who selflessly dedicate their lives to public service.
