Today we have the Executive Director for the Fresno Police Chaplaincy, Rodney Lowery. Rodney served in law enforcement for many, many years and retired from the Fresno Police Department in 2000. Over the years he had the opportunities to work in undercover narcotics, SWAT, K-9, and Violent Crime Suppression Unit (VCSU). He holds a B.A. in Bible and Theology, MDiv and is working toward a PsyD.

Rodney has a unique experience of viewing the needs of our city from a ministry perspective as well as through the lens of a law enforcement officer. Reconciling those views has led him to believe that no organization has a greater impact on this city than the Fresno Police Department.

Sometimes we believe missionaries have it all figured out. They are more spiritual, they leave everything behind and they bring hundreds of people to Christ. Hardly true.
