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.
