Health Ministries
Mission
of Trinity's Health Ministries: To serve
God's people in Christ's name by ministering
holistically to physical, emotional, and
spiritual wellness.
"When evening
came, people brought many who had demons
in them. Jesus drove out the evil spirits
with a word and healed all who w ere sick."
(Matthew 8:16)
This mission is rooted in Christ who
spoke about the healing of body, mind,
and spirit. To accomplish this ministry,
Trinity has a parish nurse and an active
health ministries committee comprised
of physicians, nurses, social workers, and others who are passionate about our
mission.
The parish nurse works in collaboration
with the pastors, committee sponsors,
community services, and resources to enhance
health care delivery for the congregation.

- Visiting members wherever
they are (homes, hospitals, or nursing
homes)
- Counseling members
on health concerns
- Assisting in obtaining
health resources
- Helping to understand
the relationship of body, mind, and
