Here I Am, Send Me

Iowa Christian Law Enforcement Summit February 27th, 2027 $50 registration per person in advance. $75 day of event.

Topical Sessions

Six Sessions. One Calling.

Dive into topics we deal with every day but often neglect. The stress of work is enough. Let's focus on what we carry into work, so we can carry less back home.

Corrections

Corrections are hard. You are the unsung heroes of law enforcement. Be encouraged by Pastor Jim Stitzinger, a corrections chaplain for many years in the Los Angeles area.

Parenting

Becoming a parent doesn't come with an instruction manual. Join Jeanetta Nieuwsma of Hope Restored Counseling for a practical conversation about understanding your child's emotions and behaviors, and learn how to love your child in ways that build connection and strengthen relationships. Walk away with practical tools to help your kids feel seen, loved, and understood.

Mental Health/Resilience

The job takes a toll. Scripture doesn't ignore that — it speaks directly to the weary. Learn how faith fuels the kind of resilience that no training academy can teach.

Finances

Finances can be the root of many struggles in life. Learn to link your faith and your finances with Brian Holtz with Compass Financial Ministry.

Marriage

For those who are married, we don't bear our burdens alone. Isaac Short and Impact Iowa's Heroes will be here to support you.

Community Policing

We are taught that it's not "us vs. them." find ways to make this a reality in your agency with Andrew Harris from Davenport Police Department.

Who We Are

Brothers and Sisters in Service

This conference exists for the men and women of Iowa law enforcement who carry both a badge and a faith. You are not alone in this calling. Come find your people.

Whether you've been walking with God for decades or you're just beginning to explore what faith means in your line of work — there is a seat at this table for you.

Answer the Call

Your Seat Is Waiting

This summit is for every police officer, sheriff's deputy, or corrections officer who has ever felt the weight of the badge and the pull of something greater. Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
