Community of Hope International works to create Christian communities of lay volunteer pastoral caregivers united in prayer, shaped by Benedictine Spirituality and equipped for and serving in pastoral care ministries. The volunteer Pastoral Caregivers remain united in prayer and community as their ministries lead them to serve in the congregation and in the wider community. The program remains rooted in Benedictine Spirituality and is based on the classic clinical pastoral education model used in many hospitals to train pastoral caregivers.

The Community of Hope training awakens trainees to God’s call on each of our lives by helping individuals discover and better understand their own spiritual gifts for ministry.
