Meet Our Chaplains

Betsy Buhler is a Chaplain at Community Bible Church in San Antonio, Texas, and has provided behind the scenes chaplaincy work in the city for the past 20 years. In 2006, after working with first responders in the city to coordinate large funerals for first responders killed in the line of duty, she received an invitation to be a chaplain to the San Antonio Police Department. In 2013 she started reFocus Today Ministry, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The mission of this ministry is to serve in places where chaplains are needed: businesses, colleges, professional sports teams, first responders, hospitals, and the community. In other words, to go where Jesus would go.

From the time Betsy was a teenager, she knew God was calling her to full-time ministry. Her work started as a volunteer in church summer camps, which led to her eventually becoming a youth pastor. She then went to work for Lifeway, a Christian publishing house, and for the next 18 years helped coordinate the worship team for large events hosted by Lifeway. After much prayer, Betsy left her family and state of Tennessee and made a new home in Texas. Since then, she has proudly ministered and served the San Antonio community, striving to “be the hands and feet of Jesus.”

Betsy’s desire is to build a chaplain team to support people in times of sorrow, joy, and everything in between. reFocus Today Ministry extends a listening ear and a solid truth rooted in God’s Word to provide an unwavering light for those who need help and encouragement.
