Our mission
The mission of the Health Ministries department is to share hope and wholeness through the healing power of Christ.
By promoting whole-person health principles we demonstrate the love of God, Who’s desire is “that all is well with you and that you enjoy good health in the same way that you prosper spiritually” (3 John 2, CEB). By linking biblical spirituality with practical health principles, we help each other find healing for our afflictions and hope for our future.
Health Ministry is the gospel of Christ illustrated, the message of God practiced. Without it, the gospel witness is muted; it is merely a theory, an idea.
By connecting together, we can be more effective in promoting the health, healing, and wholeness of the community. We can bring healing to individuals in our own churches and our homes. Together, we can fulfill God’s plan to restore hope in Christ to a world that is hurting in body, mind, and soul.
