Health Ministries
Staff contact: The Rev. Jean Denton, R.N.
Health Ministries has an intentional focus on both health and healing, combining the ancient traditions of the Christian community and the knowledge and tools of modern health care. The church is, after all, in the business of healing (making whole), and doing it in community.
Health Ministry is a witness of the healing activity of God through the local Christian congregation, encouraging holistic health through:
• Integration of body, mind and spirit,
• Increased self-knowledge,
• Personal responsibility, and
• Interdependence among God's people.
Health Ministry does not replicate services that already exist in the community; we work with community partners and resources. St. Paul's is a place where health professionals and lay people work together to keep parishioners well and to support each other during illness. We celebrate the relationship between health and faith - in the individual, the family, the church, the community and the health care system.
Take a look at the following list of Health Ministry components in our brochure. If you are interested in participating, please contact the Rev. Jean Denton, RN.
