Mission Statement

Galatians 6:4- You should each judge your own conduct. If it is good, then you can be proud of what you yourself have done, without having to compare it with what someone else has done.

Chaplain Fellowship Ministries is a first responder disaster relief and crisis response ministry and of presence that recruits trains hard working men and women as crisis response chaplains and ministers to respond in their communities when a crisis or disaster strikes. Chaplain Fellowship also recruits military chaplains, hospice chaplains, nursing home chaplains and community chaplains.

RESPONSIBILITY: One of the major functions of any church, ministry or faith based organizations SHOULD be to reach out when we have the means and help all those who are in need within our communities. It is our mission as a crisis response disaster relief ministry of presence to help first responders, Law enforcement, Fire & rescue, military, military families, families in the community and senior citizens who are going through a crisis in their lives.

DISASTER RESPONSE CHAPLAINS: To recruit and train a national network of disaster responder chaplains and emergency services chaplains to respond where ever disasters strike within our communities, such as hurricane Katrina, hurricane Rita, hurricane Ike, hurricane Lee, The Virginia Tech Shooting and the Fort Hood Terrorist Attack. CFMI Chaplains have responded to all of these Disasters and others. In order to accomplish this we must build a network of disaster response chaplains to work with the Red Cross, FEMA and other disaster response organization.

TRAINING: To offers affordable training to chaplains and ministers in disaster response, crisis intervention, Grief and Loss, Stress Management, hospice, nursing home, public safety, pastoral crisis counseling, Cultural Sensitivity and Spirituality, prison ministry and community chaplaincy. Other courses are being added as time allows.

DEPARTMENTAL CHAPLAINS: To recruit and train chaplains to serve in Police Department, Fire Department, Federal and State Agencies, Prisons, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, City and County Jails, Drug Rehab Centers, Domestic Violence Shelters, Veterans Counseling Centers and Community Street Ministries. Many state and federal agencies are starting to see and realize the value of having chaplaincy programs. Chaplains trained in crisis intervention, anger management and domestic violence are very valuable to police departments, fire departments and emergency services.

ANGER MANAGEMENT & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TRAINING: As we all know world events has caused a dramatic increase in problems with anger, domestic violence and growing crime in our communities and cities which has created a desperate need for training resources in how to manage stress, anger and domestic violence. Chaplain Fellowship has trained anger management and domestic violence facilitators who offer their services in a safe educational environment to active duty military personal, their families, veterans of all wars, law enforcement officers, federal agents, fire department and the community at large. Those who attend learn expressions of anger that are acceptable to society so that violence and self-destructive behavior can be avoided.

LIAISON CHAPLAINS: Build a network of trained crisis liaison chaplains that will network with police departments, fire departments, emergency services, churches, pastors, priests, ministers and members of the community during crisis and disaster situations.

SCHOLARSHIPS: Chaplain Fellowship Ministries believes that chaplains must have the proper specialized training in order to respond to the public at large in specialized ministries. CFMI offers scholarships when possible for some of the training programs that chaplains need to respond to crisis and disasters within their communities.
