(3 John 1:2)What is a Health Ministry? A Health Ministry addresses the health of the whole person within the congregation. Wellness, health and healing are promoted within the church and within the community by a Health Ministry Team. Health of body, mind and spirit is encouraged through increased self knowledge, personal responsibility, and encouraging an interdependence among God’s people within the congregation. Support is provided while in crisis or with day-to-day struggles, promotion of health and wellness with education programs, and various health screenings are only a few types of activities that are offered. Several have come forward with a desire to initiate a Health Ministry Program to serve our congregation and community. If you are interested in this ministry, and would like to know how YOU can become involved, please contact Sandy Boda at 724-283-9547
