All non EEA nationals visiting the UK, including those visiting as religious workers to preach or do pastoral work, are subject to the Immigration Rules, available at (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-v-visitor-rules )

If they do access NHS services, then they will usually be charged. The policy for charging visitors to the UK is the responsibility of the Department of Health.
