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.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Chaplains Say About Us

See how our chaplains are making a difference in the lives of firefighters, police officers, EMS workers, and their families throughout the Commonwealth.

Chaplain Barbra Priddy Anneta Volunteer Fire Department

I enjoy helping those I deal with in the fire service as a Chaplain. If I can make them feel that they are what matters at their time of need and provide some sort of normalcy about it all then I feel that my place in the Chaplaincy program is where God has placed me at this point in my life.

Wayne Bishop Chaplain

It is God that calls us to this specialized ministry. It is the unique training of the Kentucky Federation of Fire Chaplains that helps equip us to fulfill that call.
