Chaplain Fellowship Ministries trains everyday men and women as crisis chaplains to respond wherever there is a disaster or need to help first responders and those who are in need.

1. One of the major functions of any church, faith based organizations, or ministry SHOULD be to reach out when we have the means and help all those who are in need. It our mission as a crisis response ministry to help families in need and senior citizens who have to make a decision between buying medication or food each month.

2. Food Ministry for senior citizens and poor families: Chaplain Fellowship Ministries has been blessed to be able to help set up several food ministries across our nation that feed poor families and senior citizens on a regular basis every week.

3. Crisis Response Chaplains: To build an international network of crisis responders chaplains and emergency services chaplains to respond where ever disasters strike, such as hurricane Katrina, Rita, Ike, The Virgiana Tech Shooting, The Fort Hood Terrorist Attack. CFMI Chaplains responded to all of these Disasters and others. In order to accomplish this we must build a network of crisis response ministries enabling crisis chaplains to network with each other and share resources.

4. Departmental Chaplains: To recruit and train chaplains to serve in every Police Department, Fire Department, Federal and State Agencies, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, City and County Jails, Prisons, Drug Rehab Centers, Domestic Violence Shelters, Veterans Counseling Centers and Street Ministries. Police departments are starting to see and realize the value of having department chaplains. Chaplains trained in crisis intervention, anger management and domestic violence are a valuable assist to police and fire departments. Chaplains work with their officers, their families and within their communities.

5. Provide Anger Management and 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.

6. Liaison Chaplains: Build a network of trained liaison chaplains that will network with churches and pastors within their communities during crisis and disaster situations.

Chaplain Fellowship Ministries believes that chaplains must have proper training to minister to the public at large in specialized ministries. CFMI offers scholarships for many of the training programs that chaplains need to do their work in their communities.
