COHI Training

Community of Hope International (COHI) is a program rooted in Benedictine Spirituality and based upon the classic Clinical Pastoral Education model used in many hospitals to train lay chaplains and clergy. Its primary purpose is to form praying communities, encouraging each other in love, to be a non-judgmental listening presence to those we encounter on a daily basis.

COHI training awakens trainees to God’s call in each of our lives by helping individuals discover and better understand their own spiritual gifts for ministry. This training is not limited to a particular ministry but is open to all who serve in this place. We believe learning is enriched by diverse participation and representation.
