Health and Wellness

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor your God with your body." -- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

What is the Health and Wellness Ministry?

The purpose of the health and wellness ministry is to promote and optimize health awareness and personal responsibility for positive lifestyle changes of the whole person body, mind and soul. The ministry recognizes that man’s three basic needs -- physical, mental and spiritual -- are vital to maintaining well-being. Our focus is to provide the people of Mount Pisgah on-going age-appropriate health education of current health care concerns in the medical and African-American community. Teaching classes, coordinating and hosting seminars, disseminating health education materials and promoting monthly health observances, accomplish this.
