The Health Ministry here at RTBC is a new ministry geared towards caring for our mental, physical and spiritual health. The first step in our Health Ministry is to develop Parish Nursing. Philosophy of Parish Nursing Parish Nursing is grounded in the concept of holistic health which implies that physical health is an interplay of body, mind and spirit. Parish Nursing is biblically-based.
Nursing pairs the local hospital and church staff in a close working relationship.
Where this is not a possibility, the local church can benefit from a less structured form of the program to enhance the wellness of the congregation. Our present mobile society needs support systems. Health professionals within the congregation can use their knowledge and skills to improve the level of the caring community of the church, as well as provide an environment for discussion about moral and ethical issues of health. Pediatric and adult CPR classes are available. Look for sign-up sheet in the Ministry Center.
