Mission Statement

The Parish Nurse and Health Ministry team promotes and affirms our role in healing ministry and seeks to integrate and minister to wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. 

Parish Nursing is a health promotion role based on the care of the whole person with the basic assumptions of faith; that we care for self and others as an expression of God’s love.

Our Parish Nurse, with the collaboration of the pastoral staff and congregation, participates in the continual movement of the faith community into sources of healthier beings.  Partnering with other community health resources, she helps to respond to health and wellness concerns, paying special attention to the spiritual dimension.

Christ’s ministry on earth was wholistic, caring for the whole person- physically, emotionally and spiritually.  This ministry also strives to meet the wholistic needs of our congregation and community, by ministering to the BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT.

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.
-1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
