A Health Care Ministry is designed to identify and address the health needs of the congregation through education, counseling, and advocacy. Through the integration of health and faith, this ministry strengthens the church community by focusing on each individual’s physical, emotional. spiritual and social well being.The goal is to work in partnership with other ministries toward establishing the church as a vital resource for health and healing.
Volunteers faithfully resource and partner with Caring Ministries in serving our congregation. The ministry focuses on several distinct health areas: Health Education, Personal Health Counseling (including post hospital and newborn phone visits), Liaison to specific community agencies, Medical Equipment Loaner Closet, and Interpretation of the Relationships between Faith and Health. Parish Nurses also participate in the St. Andrew’s Crisis Care Network.
