Is there a Christian crisis hotline?

Some prayer lines and churches offer spiritual support, but crisis care is different. If there is a risk of harm, a trained crisis service or emergency service should come first. You can still ask a pastor, prayer line, or trusted Christian friend for support after safety is addressed.

  1. Immediate danger: call emergency services.
  2. Crisis support: call or text 988 in the U.S.
