Kris Cruz

I’m not here to fix anyone. I walk with people, pray with them, and remind them they are not forgotten by God.

Common questions Cost · confidentiality · how to reach me
Is there a cost for facilities or families?

No cost for facility or family pastoral care. Workplace and organizational contracts are arranged separately. To support that work, give online or text KRISCRUZ to 53-555.

Can companies partner for workplace chaplaincy?

Yes — confidential grief support, crisis response, and pastoral care on-site or virtually. Workplace services →

Is this counseling or therapy?

I provide spiritual and pastoral care grounded in Scripture — not licensed clinical counseling. I help connect people to professional resources when needed.
