Each congregation has unique needs and resources; therefore, Health Ministry is different in every church.
Using an acrostic for "CARES", we care by Celebrating God's call and compassion within the church and community; acting in faith and adopting a mentoring model of accountability and availability; Restoring relationships and health through Biblical principles and choices; Empowered by the Holy Spirit to share Jesus' love through encouragement, edification, enrichment and education; & Spiritual supplication, servanthood and sacrifice.
