on life's journey,
you are welcome here.
Health Ministries are the intentional practices of caring for one another within the distinct context of a faith tradition. In July 1997, the Twenty-first General Synod of the United Church of Christ adopted a resolution that encouraged local congregations to develop/ include in their mission a commitment to health and wholeness, engage health and wholeness issues through ongoing ministries in health and human service by developing a health cabinet/health ministries team, and implementing a health ministry/ parish nurse program.
Why Health Ministries in a Congregation?
The health ministries committee was formed to bear witness to God’s intent for wholeness and harmony with God, with creation, with other persons, and within ourselves. The committee meets quarterly and serves as an advisory group for the Parish Nurse in promoting health and wholeness through planned health promotion educational activities and developing procedures related to health and welfare of the congregation.
