The health ministry at St. John’s encompasses a number of
ministries, integrating the care of body, mind and spirit. It is
a wellness model, the focus of which is health promotion and
disease prevention.
The ministry is not a substitute for pastoral or medical care, or
for community health. It is a collaborative partnership with
these disciplines to offer resources, educational opportunities
and a communication network to our congregation and the community
we serve. The Health Ministry Team provides guidance and
direction to these ministries.
Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide
confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our
congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in
their lives.
Currently, at St John’s, pastoral visitation is done by the
Pastors and Parish Nurses. The primary focus of this visitation
is for homebound and hospitalized members and those with urgent
needs. The Parish Nurses coordinate the visitation schedule. If
you or a member you know would like a visit, you may contact the
church office.
A parish nurse will contact you for visitation arrangements. All
information shared is confidential.
