A MINISTRY OF PRESENCE
You do not have to carry it alone.
The people who answer our calls for help carry difficult experiences of their own. We come alongside them through crisis, grief, family challenges, and the everyday demands of service.

Meet Leo and Nicole
“He was just there. And that’s exactly what we needed.”
— A family served
MEET LEO AND NICOLE
Showing up starts with a relationship.
I serve across 10 public safety agencies through Public Safety Chaplaincy. Nicole and I also work through Hope Chaplain to support families, equip others to care, and develop our vision for Hope Station.
Our Christian faith shapes how we serve. We welcome people of every faith and those with no religious affiliation.
THE HOPE STATION VISION
A place to rest.
Room to grow.
Hope Station is our proposed five-acre vision for gathering, training, prayer, and time outdoors for first responders, families, chaplains, and the community.
Financial gifts, professional skills, materials, and introductions can help this vision take shape.

Chaplaincy and our partnerships
Chaplain Leo Keelan serves some of his public safety agencies through Public Safety Chaplaincy (PSC), which trained and credentialed him for this work. PSC maintains the Oregon Chaplains Academy, where Leo completed basic/advanced training and is now an instructor. These relationships support continued learning and connection with fellow chaplains. Hope Chaplain is the home for Leo and Nicole’s broader ministry, including community care, training, and the Hope Station vision. Leo’s agency chaplain service continues through PSC.
Small acts. Meaningful support.
