Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 1 Peter 5:2

Your interest in a health and wellness ministry is very timely. Public awareness of health and illness issues is at an all time high. The public is also becoming aware of the importance of prevention and wellness. Cut backs in Medicare and Medicaid, together with higher deductibles and co-payments, make illness prevention and wellness promotion real needs, not just idealistic goals. Many find commercial health and wellness programs to be both impersonal and expensive. Many others have found that a health ministry within their own church meets their needs in a more wholistic way.

The church has been intimately involved with the concepts of wholeness, wellness and healing since its inception. The idea of the unity of body, mind and spirit is deeply rooted in both the Old and New Testaments. Parish nursing is a specific ministry within your congregation that gives these concepts and ideas a visible presence. The nurse works with the pastor and a wellness cabinet of other caring members to fulfill the healing mission of the church.

Tri-State Health Ministry Organization invites you to join us!

We are supported by a strong affiliation with the Welborn Baptist Foundation which also serves the tri-state area through funding and guidance in establishing parish/faith community nurse and health ministry programs in tri-state faith-based organizations and churches of all denominations.
