Mission Statement

The Mission of the Wellness Ministry is to educate and encourage our congregation and community to honor their bodies as a Holy Temple, to inspire and influence individuals to practice healthy behaviors through daily routines. The Wellness Ministry supports and promotes Christ-centered programming, education, and enrichment activities to achieve wellness of body,
mind, and spirit

Vision

We envision the Wellness Ministry as a caring ministry team that promotes a holistic approach to health and well-being, centered on God, balanced in faith, and connected to others through the love of Jesus Christ.

The Wellness Ministry objective is to promote good stewardship of our temple to maintain our health physically, mentally, and spiritually. We accomplish this in the congregation and community by:

• Distribution of Health Literature
• Blood Drives
• Health Workshops
• Health Walks

• Church Bulletin Inserts
• Awareness Day events
• Blood drives
• Screenings
