According to the Greek of the New Testament, the root word from which Ecclesiastical is derived, is ĕkklēsia (ek-klay-see’–ah), meaning an assembly of people—a gathering of a religious congregation; a church—that is, a community of members (believers) who adhere to Christian doctrine and assemble to worship God. Hence, the word “church” explicitly refers to the believing remnant of Christ (that is, the Body of Christ—in the New Testament, “the Church”—an Assembly); a group of people who gather in a physical facility to worship God, called the Church, though the term church is not applicable to a physical facility. Moreover, an Ecclesiastic (often a Pastor or Minister) is someone who is the leader of a Christian Community. Pastor/Minister is an alternative title for a church leader of a congregation who is often referred to as a cleric (singular). Traditionally, if one is a cleric, he/she is a member of the clergy (plural, and one who possesses Biblical knowledge, a solid Biblical education, an impeccable reputation, and has a long history of Christian service before applying for a commission.
NOTE: The word “Pastors” is used only once in the New Testament (Ephesians 4:11). The term “pastor” wasn’t used during the Early Church Era (100-350), but became prominent during the Reformation Era (1517). It has continued to be used by Protestants up until modern times.
Let’s start with what it is NOT – Ecclesiastical Medicine is NOT conventional medicine. GEHA practitioners do not examine, diagnose, treat or cure mental or physical disease/disorder or illness and they do not recommend or prescribe any medications or pharmaceutical drugs or recommend changes in prescription or use of medications or drugs that may have been prescribed or provided by a medical physician.
Ecclesiastical Medicine (aka: Ecclesiastical Wellness) is a form of alternative healing which focuses on the elimination of physical symptoms by tracing the root cause of a disorder and/or disease found in the tripartite: The tripartite describes the total person; spirit (Gk. pneuma- breath/air), mind (Gk. psychē – soul/mind), and body (Gk. sōma – flesh/all living creatures). This form of healing is an ancient art and today is called holistic healing, first mentioned in the New Testament by the Apostle Paul (I Thess. 5:23 – “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – NKJV – New King James Version -quotation marks added by GEHA editors). This kind of healing is primarily rendered through natural means (that is, derived from nature) and spiritual modalities (that is, prayer, the Word of God, and the laying on of hands). On many occasions the Word of God has been used to encourage others, and to heal and deliver them from bondage. Jesus said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” – John 6:63 – NKJV – New King James Version – quotation marks added by GEHA editors).
The GEHA “Ecclesiastical Holistic Practitioner” is one who has been tested and/or vetted concerning the principles and use of Ecclesiastical Holistic Medicine, which incorporates the holistic healing model of body, mind, and spirit. For the reason of ethics, there must not be any promises or guarantees made by a GEHA “Practitioner” to heal someone. However, a “member” (client) does indeed receive many benefits from the “LifeCare Program” as he/she follows a path of prevention and learns how to be healthy and stay healthy. A “Ecclesiastical Holistic Practitioner” may often use prayer, as well as various herbals, concoctions, oils, etc., not mentioned in the Bible, because research proves that Ecclesiastical Medicine during the Early Church Age (33 – 400 A.D.) borrowed remedies and models from countries such as Greece, China, India, and other countries, though it had a Judeo-Christian beginning in Palestine. Many of these potent remedies used by the Early Church are still in use today and are marketed under various names.
NOTE: Many foods, herbals, oils, and potions mentioned in the Bible have proved to be effective in scientific tests. They are used to heal chronic diseases and ease the pain and swelling that accompany arthritic conditions. Scores of other maladies have been healed or put into remission by natural substances mentioned in the Bible.
Our mission and goals are five-fold:
(1) To assist individuals searching for an alternative to conventional treatments that have not provided them relief. To educate people about the principles that lead to a healthy life, free of disease, worry, and stress; through the prayer of faith and deliverance and natural remedies that achieve healing for the spirit, soul (mind), and body. To promote Holistic Practitioners whose services result in a state of homeostasis (that is, balance in the body) for individuals in need.
(2) To offer membership in a trusted Association for practitioners in the Biblical and natural health community, who provide health-related services. Also these practitioners are listed in a Directory so as to reach those in the public who need health-related services.
(3) To defend the rights of Holistic Practitioners who offer natural health services when provided in a responsible and legal manner, and used in accordance to the Constitutional Rights and the Laws of the area in which they practice.
(4) To maintain a high standard of vetting for such Practitioners to assure the public of receiving balanced and quality alternative faith-based health services and as well as safety for those seeking it.
(5) To offer assistance to the needy in third world countries, by promoting the teachings of the Word of God, and by administering aid to the sick and infirmed from the benefits of donations made through GEHA as a non-profit religious-based association.
Some Groups (or Ecclesiastical Societies, Alliances, Federations, Associations, Fellowships, etc.) seem to be of the opinion that Ecclesiastical Medicine (aka: Ecclesiastical Wellness) was used only by pastors, while Church History proves it actually was used by various offices of the Church, such as those cited in Ephesians 4:11— “And He (Christ) Himself gave some [to be] apostles, some [to be] prophets, some [to be] evangelists, and some [to be] pastors and teachers…” Example: Luke, the Apostle Paul’s companion was not a pastor, but a Greek Physician who attended to Paul’s physical needs, yet he was devoted to spreading the Christian faith in many countries. Many theologians/commentators believe that Luke was commissioned by the Church elders to be a “Missionary Evangelist” which involved teaching, preaching, and healing.
About four hundred years ago, a healing Ecclesiastic said, “All forms of healing have a theological basis, whether natural or unnatural.” To ignore the “spiritual influence” concerning healing is to unbalance what Almighty God intended for His people to accomplish through the use of holistic wellness (I Thess. 5:23). Today, in the USA and other countries, many Natural Health Consultants, Holistic Wellness Practitioners, Counselors, Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, etc., use Ecclesiastical Medicine, though it may be referred to in different terms. If the aforementioned professional healers are Christians, they may not always be pastors, evangelists, prophets, or apostles (see Eph. 4:11 –“teacher” is omitted, but explained in the following herein). However, if someone is a “Doctor” then he/she is indeed a Teacher, inasmuch as the definition of “Doctor” in modern times is “Teacher or Educator.”
GEHA grants “Licenses” to those who believe in the GEHA Eight Essential Biblical Truths.
The Bible is clear that [only] those who are trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior are in the Body of Christ (the Spiritual Church – Matt. 26:26; Luke 22:19; Romans 12:5; I Cor. 12:13; 27, Eph. 4:4; Col. 1:18). Furthermore, the Scripture is clear about anyone who wishes to be commissioned as a minister; the mandates are listed by the Apostle Paul in the Pastoral Letters (I Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:6-9). When adherents of various sects hold non-Christian beliefs, and are told they are not qualified to hold a license with GEHA, no insult is intended—this declaration is not intended to “judge or condemn” anyone, but is declared in the Scripture.
The term, “Judge not lest you be judged” (KJV – Matthew 7:1) was made by Jesus when He delivered His Sermon on the Mountain. He wasn’t alluding to someone giving an opinion or evaluating another one’s actions or speech, but to a private death decree issued by religious officials to anyone who violated even one iota (letter) of the Law of Moses. There were various kinds of people in the crowd that day on the mountain when Jesus delivered His sermon, and the best theologians believe that He was likely referring to the religious leaders who were always “judgmental and condemning.” They were often present in large gatherings when self-appointed prophets came to town, so they could find a reason to whip (flog) them in the synagogue for their false teachings. Or when given permission by the Roman Procurator, even have troublemakers crucified whom they labeled as criminals.
No. GEHA is “Non-Denominational.” However, it must be made clear that there are two beliefs that describe the meaning of Church:
(a) It is a physical organization. In some instances each physical organization/Association, Alliance/Federation, or Fellowship, may claim it is the [one-and-only] Church in accordance to its interpretation of Scripture.
(b) It is a spiritual group of people, whether abiding on earth or in heaven that are trusting in Christ for salvation—the most accepted view worldwide. This describes those who accept the Church as a spiritual remnant [people], and object to the ideological view that the name posted on the door of an earthly physical building called a church is the [only] Biblical Spiritual Church alluded to in Scripture. Those who adhere to the aforementioned view (point b) further declare that the name posted on the church facility is of no consequence to anyone’s salvation; only trusting in Christ by faith is required for someone to be accepted into the Spiritual Church.

As a general rule, it is difficult for an Ecclesiastical Holistic Association to protect someone outside the USA. However, under some conditions a US based attorney employed by a Religious Medical Organization may send a letter to a foreign government official in an effort to assist a practitioner. Sometimes this letter may help to some degree, but usually doesn’t bring the desired results. Our Constitution of the United States made sure that no entity or person would be denied freedom of speech, civil rights, or the right to follow the tenets of a religion in accordance to one’s choice.
GEHA CANNOT make promises or offer any legal advice that may be beyond the scope of a natural health practice in any foreign country, whether the country is Christian or non-Christian.
We, the founders/officials of GEHA, have a combined experience of 100 years with Christian membership programs and are presently operating six membership corporations, with the first being established in 1976. The idea of the Holistic Association was conceived when we acquired the Louisiana Naturopathic Medical Association in 2001, hereinafter referred to as “LNMA.” At that particular time (2001), the LNMA had been inactive for about 25 years, having been incorporated in 1975. Upon investigating the original incorporator, it was learned that LNMA was incorporated by a Doctor of Medicine (MD) who had little knowledge of academia and marketing, so he finally dissolved the corporation. At that particular time (2001), the founders of GEMA considered expanding [the] LNMA nationwide, but to achieve our goal, the name had to be changed. Though this decision was made by a 100 % approval vote of a five person board, regrettably the project was not placed on a top priority list, because the founders were active officials of six other 501(c)(3) corporations with outreaches in the USA and 65 other countries. Though approved to reach all the USA, the LNMA was never launched, because of time restraints. So, regrettably the task was laid aside.
As the years passed, discussions began again in 2015 about activating the LNMA. After discussing the matter, we decided that the name, Louisiana Naturopathic Medical Association, Inc. (est. 1975) would be changed, but we would keep the word “Association.” At the request of our Attorneys, we established another separate corporation for legal purposes under the name, Guardian Ecclesiastical Medical Association™ Inc. (est. 2016). The name Guardian Ecclesiastical Medical Association ™ (d/b/a Guardian Ecclesiastical Holistic Association – GEHA) alludes to a community of people, composed of individuals who are in one accord (agreement) concerning Biblical doctrine and have a vision for human beings to be well and whole (body, mind and spirit.) Having named the new corporation, Guardian Ecclesiastical Medical Association ™ (GEMA), it then was essential that it would grant members an Ecclesiastical License and expand beyond the borders of Louisiana. As of April 1, 2025, the board transitioned leadership and officially relocated the organization’s domicile to Florida. This move reflects GEHA’s commitment to broadening its reach, strengthening its mission, and supporting practitioners nationwide. The new President of GEHA (Nicole Kimmel PhD) is dedicated to fostering a community focused on holistic wellness and the integration of body, mind, and spirit through Ecclesiastical principles.
GEHA is a d/b/a of GEMA, Inc. Furthermore, GEMA falls into an IRS category of being a “charitable, religious, educational and scientific organization” that requires its members to be genuine in their religious and charitable programs and in a position to constantly prove to be acting in good faith. Income derived from a 501(c)(3) cannot be for the inurement of any one person and/or persons, while a “for profit” organization may be operated by a single person, and the proceeds used in any manner or for any cause that he/she wishes.
We chose to be a charitable and religious 501(c)(3) Corporation for the purpose of providing more substantial coverage for our members who hold practicing credentials as well as for the respective clients members who benefit from GEHA’s programs and services.
Please send an email to info@gehassociation.org and put “Advisory Board Review” in the subject line. Also, please attach your Resume and/or CV.
A “church” by definition automatically is under the 501(c)(3) IRS Exception Code as long as it operates as a church. However, “religious/charitable non-church organizations” (such as Christian Counseling Centers, Evangelistic Ministries, and others) must file and receive their determination from the IRS for all income to be tax deductible. If someone chooses not to apply for the 501(c)(3) non-profit status, then he/she must operate as a for-profit such as an LLC or other types of for-profit corporations and pay taxes on all income received.
Yes. There is a GEHA (20 question) multiple choice online quiz. Here are the reasons for this quiz:
(a) GEHA must know beyond doubt that someone possesses the knowledge and experience to hold our credential to offer your natural health services, and that GEHA can make good its claim to have tested and checked the member to the best of its ability.
(b) GEHA members are tested to ensure the Association can offer them some protection, not only under the US Constitutional Rights to have Religious Freedom, but also that a member of GEHA (the Association) has shown to possess the knowledge of natural health practices. Without such a test to cover such claims, it may lead state officials to assume that the public is placed in imminent danger/jeopardy by practitioners who claim to be practicing some form of the healing arts.
No. The executives of GEHA will grant a license to everyone who applies in the USA who is trained well in natural health and a servant of Christ, and believes in GEHA’s tenets of faith. These are the important criteria which allow “Practitioners” to receive protection and guidance for the services they offer. Anyone outside these protective parameters cannot be offered the same level of protection; therefore GEHA cannot accept these individuals as members.
Application for Licensure: There are other factors not mentioned here that will influence your acceptance to be approved as a “Practitioner.” Please review the License Agreement.

The following is GEHA’s Statement of Faith, compiled into Eight Essential Biblical Truths. Christians who have studied Scriptural numerology know that the number Eight alludes to New Beginnings. One must be in agreement with GEHA’s Eight Essential Biblical Truths when applying for a membership license and must warrant that he/she believes in numbers 1 through 7, and is currently practicing number 8.
EIGHT ESSENTIAL BIBLICAL TRUTHS
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2. All Scriptures were designed for practical instruction in our everyday living.
3. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
5. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
6. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
8. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yes. Once you become a credentialed Practitioner member of GEHA, you will have access to a highly experienced group of specialists who are experts in the field of Ecclesiastical Christian counseling, wellness services and legal matters.
Legal services for GEHA and its members are provided by NCLL – National Center for Life & Liberty. NCLL serves to protect and defend the Bible-based values upon which our nation was founded. Special terms have been pre-negotiated for GEHA practitioners via the GEHA membership. See FAQ #40 for more details.
Holding a GEHA Ecclesiastical/Ministerial License is beneficial because it demonstrates to your clients that you are a member of an Association and that you have met certain educational and clinical requirements. Furthermore, the many resources that GEHA has available will benefit you tremendously, whether you need to market your services to enhance your profile, or acquire further education and training in the healing arts. By holding credentials from GEHA, a credentialed member is given credibility in the public, being assured that he/she is sound, well trained, has ethical principles, and is knowledgeable in the use of holistic medicine.
Having a Holistic Health Link (HHL) listing is required for GEHA practitioners. It is an exclusive platform designed specifically for licensed members. The HHL listing allows practitioners to showcase their services, share the digital GEHA Lifecare Agreement form, and enhance professional credibility within the GEHA community. It ensures compliance with GEHA’s standards while providing a secure and centralized system for managing client information through the integrated GEHA CRM database. By maintaining an active HHL listing, which is exclusively available to GEHA practitioners (and required), members gain visibility and credibility while aligning with the organization’s mission to promote holistic wellness rooted in Ecclesiastical principles.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Holistic Health Link $25 monthly fee is required to be a GEHA practitioner, in addition to the GEHA monthly fee. Learn more about how the GEHA monthly fee is determined at FAQ #49.
GEHA pays monthly for an NCLL membership to represent GEHA, but also for GEHA practitioners to have access to a legal team at no charge. A GEHA member does NOT have to pay for legal assistance until representation is required, at which point the GEHA member can join NCLL at a reduced rate. Monthly membership is usually $200.00, but for GEHA members, it is only $100.00. And the “pre-existing issue” fee of $2,500 is waived. NCLL member benefits include:
- Unlimited legal questions
- Contract review
- Document review
- Reduced price for Wills and POAs
- Reduced rate for plaintiff work
We highly recommend NCLL because their nonprofit legal ministry specializes in serving to protect and defend the Bible-based values upon which our nation was founded: church liberties, parental liberties, individual liberties, and issues of life.

NO! Your GEHA membership license does NOT provide professional liability insurance and you must acquire and maintain your own professional liability insurance for any services you offer within the GEHA scope (Code of Operations). So, if you need a policy to cover your GEHA wellness services, you are pre-qualified for a policy with “Lockton Affinity Insurance Company,” once you are an approved GEHA Practitioner and your GEHA fees are paid. Whether you purchase a Lockton policy or have a current policy, you will need to add “Guardian Ecclesiastical Holistic Association as “Additional Insured.” To learn more about GEHA insurance requirements, click here.
No. When a client becomes a GEHA “member,” they waive their rights to HIPAA when they sign the GEHA Lifecare Agreement. Only state/medical licensed practitioners/doctors are mandated to adhere to HIPAA laws.
GEHA, nor the “Practitioner,” will ever release clients’ records to anyone because GEHA is a private Ecclesiastical Association and all records are private and confidential along with all activities within the association. All records and documents remain as property of GEHA. A member can request a copy any time.
The GEHA license frequently uses the terms “ministerial credential and license,” which are considered synonymous by GEHA. Recipients of the license are also “ordained or commissioned,” granting them authority to perform specific duties within defined parameters and scope. The term “minister” means “servant,” emphasizing service to others in ministry.
Laws regarding ministerial credentials vary by state, particularly for performing marriages, funerals, hospital, and prison visitations. GEHA licensees must consult their state authorities before engaging in such activities. While GEHA supports practices like laying on of hands and anointing with oil, activities like massage or chiropractic adjustments fall outside the GEHA Code of Operations and are not covered under the license.
The distinction between “licensed” and “ordained” often depends on the denomination or organization. Some groups treat them as the same, while others require more experience and education for ordination. A ministerial license typically signifies “good standing” with the granting organization, while ordination often involves a commissioning ceremony, such as the laying on of hands. Regardless of the designation, GEHA emphasizes adherence to staying within the scope of the license, as violations can result in revocation.
What’s the difference between board certification and a license? Does a license provide insurance? If I’m board certified, do I need a license? If I have a license, do I need insurance?
1.) Certificate – This document is granted to someone for completing a certain number of human or academic credit hours in a specific field. It does not mean that a recipient of a “Certificate” is “Certified” or necessarily holds a degree. It is a document certifying that one has fulfilled the requirements of and may practice in a field. It is an education credential only.
2.) Board Certification – Most educational institutions grant someone a certificate of education when the individual earns a diploma, bachelors, masters, or doctorate degree; this is not a board certification. Educational institutions teach and graduate students, but do not “board certify” graduates. The accepted standard is that upon graduating from an educational institution, a graduate applies for the designation of “Board Certification.”
3.) Insurance – There are many kinds of insurance policies, but the one that most practitioners purchase is for the reason of “liability.” A Holistic Health Practitioner, whether in a private practice or working in a group of practitioners, is liable for what he/she says and does with clients. There is also liability in using health devices, machines and/or instruments. Therefore, having a good liability insurance policy is essential. Learn more about GEHA insurance requirements.
4.) License – Many Holistic Health Practitioners do not hold a State License because often, there is no State Board to grant licensure, since there are hundreds of holistic health designations in use today. A License is usually granted by a State, but there are Ecclesiastical Private Associations that grant a License or Registered title to offer holistic health services, in accordance with the first and fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution. This provides a constitutionally protected path for spiritually minded practitioners who wish to offer natural, Ecclesiastical-based physical, mental and spiritual (Holistic) health services. It’s important to note that this kind of License or Registration does not permit a practitioner to make claims that he/she may diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. However, a Holistic Health Practitioner may “recommend” lifestyle changes and products that may assist clients in their quest to get well and stay well. Generally, practitioners who aren’t State Licensed use an Agreement that details what he/she will and won’t do; it’s essential because if a practitioner is sued in the courts, its value can NOT be understated. Licensure isn’t insurance; it does not protect the practitioner from liability. An example to provide clarity is when an individual has been licensed to drive a car. The license grants permission to drive only; separate insurance must be maintained if an accident were to happen, creating liability. This is WHY a GEHA license should be considered!
5.) Registration – In most cases, the terms “licensure” and “registration” are used interchangeably. For example: Licensed Real Estate Agent, Registered Architect.
It’s important not to confuse the rights and abilities afforded by each one. Learn more about the GEHA Code of Operations.
The GEHA monthly fee is determined by the collective answers on your application. More specially, we are assessing risk and liability based on answers to the following questions:
- How may clients do you work with in an average week?
- How many employees do you have, if any?
- Do you operate machines, devices or any equipment in your office? Although GEHA does NOT cover “equipment” in the scope of license, we still desire to know all instruments that are potentially being used during an appointment.
In addition to these questions, we look at overall education, certification(s) and experience – and assign the fee accordingly. You will be notified of your monthly GEHA fee once your background check returns “clear” results.
*If you are just starting your business and you have not started seeing clients yet, your GEHA fee will be $35.00 monthly for the first year. Every 365 days, this fee is re-assessed by submitting your GEHA annual report.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In addition to the GEHA monthly fee, there is a required $25 Holistic Health Link monthly fee. Learn more at FAQ #35.
