Please pass on this invite to the pastors, priests, ministers, preachers, and 
clergy for your personal church, synagogue, or faith community. It would also 
be very helpful if they would in-turn pass it on to other clergy they know. We 
would like to reach all of the clergy in the Concho Valley. Thank you!

The Concho Valley is home to over 15,000 Veterans and their families are often 
longing to find informed support for the struggles they endure because of their 
traumatic experiences. A well-informed and compassionate local church can often 
be an effective source for the support and solutions that these Service 
Members, Veterans, and their Families (SMVF) are seeking.

Military Informed Ministry training is designed to inform, equip, and inspire 
local church leaders in the Concho Valley region to be "Warrior Wise" in 
reaching out and ministering to those SMVF who may be struggling. The topics 
will include Military Culture, the Invisible Wounds of War/Trauma (focusing on 
Moral Injury), Rural and Women Veterans Mental Health, Practical Ideas/Examples 
and List of Resources.

Dr. Craig Combs is a retired Texas Army National Guard Chaplain with 26 years 
of service, including two combat tours in Iraq in which he earned a Combat 
Action Badge and two Bronze Star Medals. He retired in 2014 as an O6/COL and as 
the Command/State Chaplain for the Texas National Guard, receiving the Legion 
of Merit Medal for his service.

He holds a Master in Theology (ThM) degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and 
a PhD in Family Education from Texas Tech University. He now serves as the 
Community Partner Coordinator for the Veterans Mental Health Program (VMHP) at 
the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC).

Craig resides in Argyle, Texas and is married with five grown children, three 
daughter-in-laws and six grandchildren. He has a passion for spending time with 
family, especially in the outdoors, and for serving those who have 
sacrificially served our Nation in uniform.

 

 

 

Best,
