The Church Health Center is committed to reaching out beyond the walls of our buildings. We reach out to churches and church groups to encourage, educate and equip people to reclaim the biblical commitment to care for our bodies and spirits with the support of their faith communities.
While people of faith are called throughout scripture to preach, teach and heal, we know that offering an effective healing ministry in your congregation takes hard work and access to the right resources. If you’re ready to start a health ministry in your congregation, strengthen an existing one, or simply want to know what health ministry is all about, let us know. We’ll provide you with the support, consultation, training and resources to make it happen.
We provide a wide array of resources and materials so that you can take the Church Health Center into your congregation. All of our curriculums are designed to be easy-to-use, applicable in various settings and meet the different needs of your congregation.
Individual journals: Our Walking with Jesus journal is a six-week program of Scripture readings, health tips and more designed to help get you or your small group moving.
Training guides: Helping Hearts provides a comprehensive guide for congregational care and can be used by individuals or in small groups.
Assessment tools: Our Congregational Prescription for Health helps you determine the health needs of your community and develop programs your members can use.
Bible studies: Walk & Talk is a 52-week bible study designed to be used while you walk with a partner or group.
Liturgical resources: Our tips for starting a prayer shawl ministry give suggestions for prayers, music and scripture readings.
The cornerstone of our Memphis outreach is enabling active health ministries in your place of worship. Our Congregational Health Promoter (CHP) program provides training and support to start or strengthen your congregation’s health ministry. By taking part in this 8-week course, you will become a living, breathing health resource for your community.
