Who we are
Who is Healthy-Church?
We are a community of like-minded churches committed to improving the effectiveness of ministries through supportive programs and resources designed to get churches healthy and keep them that way.
Healthy-Church brings a renewed awareness to the reality that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that an optimally functioning “temple” will enable an optimally functioning ministry.
Our Health Message
Health is a product of 1 knowing God, 2 intimacy with the special people of our lives, 3 meaningful work done in God’s service, 4 edifying recreation, 5 wise care of the body, and 6 traveling light with regard to past negative life issues.
The Ministry Health Message applied to health/fitness –
Health/fitness is not an end in itself, but serves a higher purpose: to help equip us to be fully expressive and better serve God across the entire spectrum of life areas:
- Spiritual – relationship with God; participation in the life of the Church
- Relational – knowing, enjoying and serving the special people of our lives
- Vocational – self-consistent expression of our talents, gifts and passions in the LORD’s service
- Recreative – taking sufficient daily (sleep, “time out”), weekly (celebrating the Sabbath), yearly (vacation), and extended (sabbatical) time for rest and restorative activity.
