Touchpoint Ministries

Care – Our most fundamental purpose is to demonstrate a sincere concern for the needs and well-being of others, and to intentionally do the things that are required to support and protect the spiritual, physical, and emotional health of all patrons.

Compassion – We believe the success of our ministry to be contingent on our ability to maintain Christlike behaviors and dispositions. Our chaplains seek to convey feelings of deep sympathy and sorrow for those who are stricken by misfortune. We contend that to achieve our mission, our efforts must be accompanied by a strong desire to assist in alleviating the suffering of our patrons.

Respect – We recognize the importance and positive social, theological, and philosophical contributions of all people groups, religious orientations, and cultures. Touchpoint Ministries respects every individual’s religious practices and beliefs, and offers its ministries and services equitably to all. Touchpoint Ministry chaplains do not practice religious discrimination, even when clienteles theological perspectives fail to align with those of orthodox Pentecostal Christianity.

Active Listening – Our chaplains are skilled listeners who mindfully listen and attempt to discover and understand the meaning of words spoken by patients, students, inmates, residents, and parishioners in a conversation or speech. Touchpoint Ministry chaplains seek to cultivate the listening skills needed to focus completely on a speaker, understand their message, comprehend the information, and respond appropriately.
