Fire Chaplains

The Hall County Fire Services chaplains are made up of Senior Pastors from local churches. They serve strictly on a volunteer basis and share the duties of ministering and fellowshipping among the thirteen Fire Stations.

The primary mission of the Hall County Fire Chaplains is to minister to the spiritual and emotional needs of all department employees and their families. Together we will work together with various County agencies in an effort to help bring hope and healing to the men and women of the Fire Service.


Isaiah 43:2  (New King James Bible)
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.
