Why Health Ministry
A ministry of healing by which people can be restored to wholeness, our health program provides education, nutrition guidance, blood sugar and blood pressure testing, and many other benefits.
Health ministries are an integral part of the mission of the Adventist Church. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God” (I Cor. 10:31). Health ministry is the gospel of Christ illustrated, the message of God practiced. Without it, the gospel witness is muted; it is merely a theory, an idea.
Whole-person care addresses the four dimensions of wholistic health: mental, physical, spiritual, and social. The four foundational principles which guide our philosophy are:
1) Inspiration – We study the Word as a guide to making wise choices in every area of life and health.
2) Evidence – We respect evidence-based health science which stands up to the rigors of careful examination and analysis according to accepted scientific principles.
3) Balance – We are deeply committed to physical, mental, social, and spiritual balance to support health, happiness, and healing.
4) Relationships – Cultivating positive relationships with God, family members, friends, and community members will play a significant role in our personal health, productivity, and ability to help others.
