LCC K-9 Ministry Welcomes 15 Affiliates from 9 States to Handler Training

It was a blessing to have 15 affiliate churches from 9 different states represented during the Additional Handler training on October 6-7. LCC is happy to welcome these wonderful individuals who have been called to go out and serve their home communities to share the mercy, compassion, presence and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need. 

The handlers spent a lot of time learning new handling skills and building their knowledge about the ministry. Each handler worked with either their affiliate’s dog, an LCC Staff K-9, or with an LCC K-9 Comfort Dog in training.

LCC welcomes the following new handlers to the LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry:
