Health Ministries

The promotion of good health and a healthy lifestyle is an integral part of the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.  We believe our body is the temple of God and as such we have a special responsibility to protect and care for our bodies.  

• The mission of our Health Ministries Department is to provide an environment that encourages a health conscious congregation and a temperance minded people.
  

•  Goal:  "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." -- 3 John 2.
  

• Creed:  "I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." -- Rom. 12:1

The Health Ministries Department tries to fulfill its mission through various programs and events at our church and in the community.  Some of the programs sponsored by our Health Ministries Department include health lectures and forums, health screenings, an annual Health Fair, and the distribution of health related literature.
