About Begin Again Living Ministries (B.A.L.M.)
Hello, I’m Chaplain Derrick, founder of Begin Again Living Ministries (B.A.L.M.).
Begin Again Living Ministries is a non-profit, donation-based ministry dedicated to providing professional spiritual and emotional care to individuals and families navigating grief, loss, life transitions, and personal crisis. Our mission is simple: to walk alongside people during some of life’s most difficult moments and help them find hope, stability, and the strength to begin again.
I am an ordained minister and chaplain with more than 35 years of ministry experience. Throughout my career, I have served the law enforcement community, hospice patients and families, and individuals in their homes, senior living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and hospitals. My work focuses on compassionate presence, emotional support, and practical guidance during times of uncertainty and loss.
In addition to chaplaincy, I am a certified grief counseling specialist, professional life coach, motivational speaker, and author. I facilitate bereavement support groups and provide speaking engagements across the United States and globally through Zoom, as well as in-person appearances at churches, conferences, and community events upon request.
After decades of ministry service, hospice families and their friends encouraged me to expand this work into an online spiritual support and Bible study community. In response, Begin Again Living Ministries was formed to offer accessible, consistent support beyond traditional healthcare systems. We currently meet online via Zoom on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with sessions available by video or phone depending on individual needs. Schedules vary based on family availability, and we encourage you to reach out for current service and Bible study times.

Our Commitment
B.A.L.M. is a donation-based ministry. Chaplain services are provided at no charge, because when someone is in crisis, access to care should never be a barrier. Financial conversations should not stand in the way of receiving support when it is most needed.
For coaching or extended grief services, we work creatively and compassionately to make care affordable and accessible. My vision is to provide meaningful, high-quality support that feels both valuable and attainable—care that you will feel confident investing in and grateful to receive.
If you or someone you love is navigating grief, loss, or a challenging season of life, you do not have to walk alone.
