Health Ministry
The Health Ministry seeks to facilitate Scriptural Wholeness in the lives of our church members and constituents. That we may continue to grow as Jesus grew, “in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and others,” (Luke 2:52) “stature” indicates good physical health as well as mental, spiritual and social wholeness. Further, the Apostle Paul states boldly, “Or do you not know that your Body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you…therefore, glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) We, therefore, conclude that the church should foster health and wholeness through “temple maintenance”.
