Chaplain Services – SRV Fire and Police - Nick Vleisides
Nick shared with us last year. He is back to give us an update on the book he wrote “Used To Go To Church: Rethinking God on the Frontline of Life’s Tragedies. He will also give us an update on how law enforcement is doing during the pandemic. Nick Vleisides provides chaplain services for San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, Contra Costa County Sheriff, Danville Police Department, San Ramon Police Department and Contra Costa County Public Safety Support Services. His goal is to reach out to firefighters, law enforcement officers, schools and community members who experience critical incidents and tragic events. Community Chaplain Resources exists to extend the love of God to those who find themselves needing emotional and spiritual guidance, care and support on an ongoing basis while building relationships with officers, deputies, firefighters and community members. He established Community Chaplain Resources in the summer of 2011 after serving as a pastor in a variety of settings over a span of 24 years. As a young man, I was a reserve firefighter and began a career path in the fire service only to discover that God had other plans for me. After several years of directing water ski camps and teaching public school, I attended seminary and began serving in full-time ministry in 1987. While an associate pastor in Austin, TX I was invited by some men in our church to join the local volunteer fire department where I became a Texas Certified Volunteer Firefighter and EMT. More significantly, I became the department’s first Fire Chaplain. After 8 years I moved back to the Bay Area to pastor a local church. During my 6 years as a pastor, I also volunteered as a chaplain for the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District. I served for over 24 years on several church pastoral teams: Pastor to Youth for 10 years at Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, Ca.; Associate Pastor for 8 years at Austin Ridge Bible Church in Austin, TX; Senior Pastor for 6 years at Creekside Community Church in Alamo, CA.
