Our Work

More than 10 million people per year visit major medical centers in Texas as patients, not counting their loved ones or caregivers. Many of these patients lack basic emotional and spiritual support in their moment of suffering. We’re on a mission to provide compassionate support to these individuals and their families.

Our Board Certified Chaplains have extensively refined their pastoral care skills through years of experience. They believe that sustainable chaplaincy at Lifeline is volunteer-driven, and thus spend significant time training our volunteers to interact with patients on meaningful physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

Few people are ever prepared for crisis, and medical situations often hit a person when they and their loved ones least expect it. We’re on a mission to provide educational resources for these difficult moments of crisis.

Churches and pastors are often the people to whom we look for assistance in moments of suffering. We believe that what our Board Certified Chaplains offer their volunteers provides a rich resource for church leaders, pastors, and ministry volunteers to more adequately and adeptly respond to the complicated crises that all churches face.
