The vision of the Church Health Department is rooted in the belief that a healthy Pastor leads to a healthy church. While attention often centers on the church itself, the well-being of the pastor is just as crucial. For a Pastor to be healthy, he or she must be healthy spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. This involves prayer, studying the Word, maintaining a regular exercise routine, releasing past hurts, and engaging in personal growth through books, podcasts, conferences, and other resources.
For pastors, we offer the Minister’s Renewal—a refreshing and revitalizing experience for you and your spouse. This uplifting and inspiring event, hosted by the Network in October, is designed to encourage and challenge you in your ministry journey. Scholarships are available to help make attendance possible. Additionally, we provide valuable resources to support the growth and development of every pastor in our Network. For those feeling stuck or in need of guidance, coaching is also available to help you move forward with clarity and purpose in your ministry.
For the church, we encourage every congregation to focus on two key priorities. First, prioritize outreach. It’s vital to extend beyond our church doors to connect with new people and invite them to our church. To support this effort, we offer outreach scholarships for churches that may face financial constraints. If your congregation needs assistance to host an outreach event, we’ve made the process simple. Just complete the form available under the Outreach tab that will help plan a powerful event.
The second helpful resource for every church is the Acts 2 Journey. Over the span of a year, you and your leadership team will participate in four cohorts. During this time, you will assess the current state of your church, define your mission, develop a unique vision, establish core values, plan outreach initiatives, and create a strategic three-year plan, complete with a launch date.
The Church Health Department is dedicated to supporting and encouraging every Pastor as we work together to make a lasting impact for the Kingdom of God.
