Comments from Chaplaincy Program Graduates

Carla Bluitt, North Carolina

It is an honor to be a member of the very first graduating class of the CIMP Chaplaincy Training Program. This has been a dream come true for Pastor Koonce and to witness how God moved to bring this program to fruition was such a blessing. With a passion for sharing the love of God in the marketplace, I am excited to embark upon this new journey with the help of the Lord and feel well-equipped as a result of going through this training program.

Pastor Cordell Carter, Virginia

I took this class so that I could expand my ministerial duties outside of the four wall of the church. That I may be able ot have access and impact for the Kingdom of God (legally) in the hospital, correction facilities, and in my immediate community agencies. The class has been insightful and informative. Thank you for assisting myself and the others in fulfilling our Kingdom mission to "go ye therefore."

Cathy Scott, North Carolina

The class has been such a wonderful experience for me, Pastor Koonce and Amy have done an excellent job with facilitating in a very professional manner. If you have a heart and a love for God, and God's people, I highly recommend you consider enrolling in the next CIMP Chaplaincy class. I assure you will be glad you did.



Douglas Warren, Maryland

The class and study has been a tremendous blessing; I have learned so much and I look forward to serving in my community as a Chaplain.

Terri Lambe, North Carolina

I had an outdated mindset of chaplaincy, but soon realized I had been training for this for much of my life without knowing it. Chaplaincy embodies the true heart, hands, and feet of the life of Jesus. I was originally skeptical about doing this certification. I wanted to ensure it was reputable, credible, and that the root of it was attached to the ultimate Source. After researching and taking the leap, I was even more thrilled I decided to do it. Everything was executed with a spirit of excellence, and Pastor Koonce's humility and passion for Chaplaincy work was evident and contagious. Dr. Dale Scadron's teachings were also on point. Amy's administrative support was also done with compassion and excellence.
