The faith community is ideally suited to support post military transition by offering everyday practical support and promoting spiritual resiliency.

Volunteer-led "Military Ministries" in partnership with clergy foster a sense of belonging, decrease isolation and facilitate connection to other supportive resources. The idea is to build sustainable relationships - friends you can count on.

Did you know that of the 2.6 million Afghanistan and Iraq Veterans:

* 55% feel disconnected from mainstream America

* 40% struggle to find meaning and purpose post military service

And Veterans from previous era conflicts may continue to struggle.


Join us the first Sunday of every month to learn best practices, obtain resources, feel encouraged and inspired.

Starring Mike Farrell (Captain B.J. Hunnicutt of M*A*S*H) as Dr. Keeling, Dr. Keeling’s Curve tells the story of the life and work of Dr. Charles David (“Dave”) Keeling (1928-2005), whose work on CO2 measurement at Caltech in the mid 1950s gave the world its first early warnings of the dangers of Climate Change. He went on researching CO2 for the rest of his life, resisting many attempts by ignorant government bureaucrats to shut down his program. Science historian Spencer Heart, author of “The Discovery of Global Warming” has called Keeling "the key figure" in any history of climate change discovery. Had it not been for Keeling, it might have been another twenty years before the world understood the menace posed by CO2.
