Business: Establish a health ministry committee.
There’s a special link between health and faith. And this connection provides a valuable way to reach people in one of the most important communities in their lives. One step to success is in forming a health ministry committee to provide resources and education for your members.
The group initially may be comprised of a pastor, members with a professional background in health or who have an interest in establishing a program. Your ministry may also enlist the help of other churches and local health agencies or providers. A health ministry program usually includes aspects such as:
- Prevention-related information, which can include heart-healthy education topics, blood pressure screenings and health fairs.
- Emotional support, such as stress management and bereavement services
- Volunteer training that can include classes on CPR, parenting and caring for aging parents.
