The health ministry at St. John’s encompasses a number of ministries, integrating the care of body, mind and spirit. It is a wellness model, the focus of which is health promotion and disease prevention.

The ministry is not a substitute for pastoral or medical care, or for community health. It is a collaborative partnership with these disciplines to offer resources, educational opportunities and a communication network to our congregation and the community we serve. The Health Ministry Team provides guidance and direction to these ministries.

The ministry is deeply rooted in the Bible. During his life, Jesus devoted much of his time to healing those who were broken physically, emotionally and spiritually. In addition, His charge to the New Testament Church included preaching, teaching, and healing (Mathew 10:7-8; 28:19-20; Mark 16:18).
