The Wellness Connection

Congregational Directory of Health-Related Ministries

The Wellness Connection will be a directory of congregations who are working to live out, sustain and promote health within their own lives and within the wider human community.

Do you ask any of these questions?

• We want to talk with a congregation about their experience in a ministry with persons who have serious mental illness. Who is doing this ministry?
• Is there a parish nurse close to where my mother lives?
• We would like to start an Older Adult Ministry. Who has a successful program?
• We have heard about different models for ministry with children with disabilities. Before we settle on one, we would like to talk with some congregations who have established programs. Where do we learn about these?

This directory will help members learn from the experiences of others. Congregations self-report the ministries they are engaged in. Through the directory, we will be better able to identify and lift up outstanding models of ministries for the wider church family. It is all about being a connectional church and living out our call to be a community of health and healing.

Please complete the form below to report the ministries your congregation is involved in. This information will be shared with other congregations seeking to connect with someone doing your work.
