Chaplaincy Training & Beyond

The Believers Fellowship

The House of Healing International Ministries Believers Fellowship is a non-denominational 501c3 nonprofit organization and parachurch that is committed to mutual growth in God and leadership development that best serves our local and global communities. We are a resource-based ministry, supporting families in need as we are able, guided by the generosity of donations received. 

Our online leadership development programs are designed to help you gain spiritual growth through chaplaincy, basic biblical studies to more in-depth theological studies that encompass biblical hermeneutics, foundational truths, ethics, missions, community, and congregational care. If you have any questions or would like to speak to a member of our team, please email hohimbf@gmail.com.

Why Chaplaincy? 

Chaplaincy offers a universal ministry that transcends religious boundaries, providing compassionate support and spiritual care to people from all faiths and backgrounds. Unlike denominational church leadership, which is dedicated to guiding members within a specific religious tradition, chaplaincy aims to understand and honor interfaith beliefs without requiring you to compromise your personal theology. Church leaders should consider chaplaincy vital as it extends their ministry's reach, fosters community connections, and serves as a useful tool in evangelism. Embrace the universal impact of chaplaincy to enrich your church's mission and serve a broader audience with love and compassion.
