Do you feel called to serve in this sacred work without the professional training commitment?
The Death & Resurrection Doula Volunteer Course invites you to walk alongside those at the end of life with courage, care, and hope. Through spiritual formation, practical guidance, and peer support, you will grow in confidence, deepen your ministry, and experience the sacred calling of accompanying others through life’s final journey.
This course is great for caregivers, companions, hospice volunteers, and those discerning whether professional certification is right for them. A letter of ministry recognition is written for volunteers.
Join the movement reclaiming the Christian meaning and experience of death & resurrection; live out your faith in service to your neighbor in their time of greatest need.
Online Only: $250
Engage in an abridged version of the professional training course. Enrich your spiritual experience through anonymous shared lesson responses, engage with other volunteers through a training discussion board, and list your profile in our directory.
