Crisis Response Therapy Dog Teams

Purpose
The purpose of the Canines for Christ Crisis Response Therapy Dog Teams (CRT) is to deploy teams who will bring a ministry of presence, prayers and appropriately share God’s love, comfort, and hope to those that have been affected by man-made or natural disasters. Our dogs are used as the vessel to open the door to share this message. 

How to Get Involved:

1. CRT Volunteer must be a current C4C volunteer
2. Volunteers must have either completed the “Sharing Hope in Crisis” online training through Billy Graham Rapid Response for Chaplains or petition the Crisis Response Program Director to review an individual’s specific response training and experience.
3. Zoom trainings with Chaplain Fred Wetzel are offered periodically but there is always the option to complete training independently by reviewing the two self-paced CRT Training modules and downloading, reading and attesting to the guidelines below.
4. Your dog must have a minimum of 25 community visits.
