STREET PASTORS/CHICAGO INITIATIVE

RESPONSE PASTORS - WHEN A DISASTER OR CRISIS OCCURS IT OFTEN AFFECTS ALL PARTS OF A COMMUNITY AND THERE IS USUALLY A NEED FOR EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, AS WELL AS PHYSICAL SUPPORT.

Response pastors can be called upon any day or night to support and assist where appropriate. A response pastor is a crucial point of contact and an additional support to the established emergency services.

Their primary task is to offer prayer.support, clergical presence, and the compassion of Christ to all in the event of a crisis or emergency, this may be outside emergency at an incident or specifically to assist survivors, witnesses or family members affected by the event.

After training a local Response Pastors team will be established within a community to be called upon if required.
