Registered nurses seeking to become Faith Community Nurses complete the Foundations of Faith Community Nursing Course. This course aligns with the current edition of Faith Community Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, which is published jointly by the Health Ministries Association and the American Nurses Association. Access the Foundations page to register for the Foundations of Faith Community Nursing Course.

Once the Foundations course is completed, new FCNs continue to build competency through continuing education, networking, conference attendance, participation on national committees, and by seeking out mentors needed to help meet a specific competency. The Faith Community Health Network has nine Network meetings throughout the year which are posted on the website calendar at the bottom of the FCHN Events page. These meetings alternate in their content. FCHN provides continuing education at some of these meetings and networking and mentoring at others. These meetings are a valuable opportunity to come together for problem-solving, sharing best practices, and dynamic fellowship. Training and retaining RNs in a faith community setting or other community setting is a win-win.
