CFMI 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 recruits, provides training and empowers everyday hard working men and women as disaster and crisis response chaplains and ministers to start their own ministries. This enables them to respond in their communities when a crisis or disaster strikes. Chaplain Fellowship also recruits chaplains for the United States military, hospice, nursing homes, Law Enforcement, Federal agencies, Fire Departments, Emergency services and community ministries.

DISASTER RESPONSE CHAPLAINS: CFMI recruits and trains chaplains as disaster responder chaplains and emergency services chaplains. Trained chaplains respond with their own ministries 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 trained Chaplains have responded to all of these Disasters and others. CFMI teaches that chaplains working in their own ministries must build a network of disaster response chaplains to work with the Red Cross, Emergency Management, FEMA and other disaster response organization.

TRAINING: CFMI 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 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.
