Who We Are
We believe christians should live a long, healthy happy life through
a balanced lifestyle of body, mind and spirit. Man is responsible for
being a steward of his own health and it is one of the missions of CHF
to assist good stewards by providing vital information concerning
natural health.
In addition, CHF wishes to unite its members in fellowship and
in action concerning our beliefs in natural health. While there
are many denominations and religions, they do not necessarily
promote, practice or even define their beliefs and traditions
regarding health. For example, if you claimed that for religious
purposes you were a vegetarian, or total abstainer, or did not
vaccinate, what religion would that be? Most religious organizations
do not specify those particular beliefs (some vegetarians may
be Baptists, but not all Baptists are vegetarians). Therefore,
it is prudent to bring together all those with a common belief
in God as well as their approach toward health issues for the
purposes of strengthening our character, our position and our
freedom.
Once you become a member of CHF, we would be pleased to send a
letter on your behalf to any person or organization that questions
your natural health beliefs, stating applicable laws if needed,
and assisting in clearing up misunderstandings of your religious
freedom. (See
Sample Letter)
If you would like to be a part of an organization that strives
for religious freedom and education regarding health issues and
agree with the Statement
of Faith, you are invited to become a part of our fellowship.

Our Mission Statement
Christian Health Fellowship (CHF) is a fellowship of committed
Christians dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of health
through adherence to Scriptural principles. Such principles include
but are not limited to: the stewardship of the body (God’s
Temple), wholesome diet and proper exercise to build mental,
physical and spiritual aspects of life.
Organization
CHF is directed by a Council who conduct the work and ministry
of the organization as well as oversee the assets of the Fellowship.
The Council members consider this a personal service and a form
of ministry, thus they volunteer their services. The Council organizes
itself, has a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer.
Membership
Individuals who wish to join CHF may do so by affirming the Statement of Faith and
committing themselves to the work of the fellowship’s ministry through prayer and education.
Finances
CHF is a not-for-profit religious and educational organization.
In order to carry on the financial obligations of its work, it
accepts membership contributions from individuals and families.
A suggested contribution of $25.00 per family per year is the
goal of the fellowship. This helps offset expenses such as research,
newsletters, postage and service to the members.
