The Presbyterian Church (USA) believes that Parish Nursing is a faithful response to Christ’s call to the ministry of health, healing and wholeness, therefore, as St. Andrew Presbyterian Church continues to grow Parish Nursing can play an important role in the physical, emotional, and spiritual growth of its members.
Jesus Christ provided a model for care by his concern for the physical, emotional, and spiritual healing of people. Parish Health Ministries can help us to care for one another and meet our needs by:
Focusing on wellness and disease prevention through education.
Moving from dependent to involved care of our health.
Creating a whole-person approach to health involving body, mind, and spirit.
