Gathering: First Responders
Our First Line peer gathering is for Law Enforcement, Fire & Rescue, EMS, Dispatchers, Corrections, and Federal Agents.
Our in-person gatherings are led by Pastor Andrew Columbia, who served as an NYC Police Officer, served as part of the Ground Zero Clergy Task Force during & after 9/11, now serves as the Lead Pastor of MCB Church in Carmel, and is a Chaplain with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department & Kent Police Department in Carmel.
These gatherings are an open forum and offer an opportunity to listen, learn, and share what's on your mind.
WHO: Guardians only
WHEN: Monday, March 4 @ 7 - 8:30 pm ET
WHERE: Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Carmel, NY
