Bringing together Christians health and care workers to promote whole health
The Collaborative’s objective is to:
- Stimulate Christian health workers to use their professional knowledge and skills, and their faith to effect whole person health
- Provide information that promotes whole health – personal, family and community
- Promote supportive relationships between Christian health and care workers (individuals and organised groups)
- Excite churches about the capacity of health and care ministry to transform lives
To achieve these objectives we:
- promote a Christian worldview of the person as an integrated whole- body, mind, spirit
- emphasise the importance of relationships – with God, with others, with the creation and within one’s self
- stress the biblical mandate of the church is to preach, teach and heal. Health and care ministry focuses on all three, but emphasises health and healing activities
- recognise health and care ministry is a ‘body’ ministry of a church. It involves everyone in a Christian faith community because all bring unique gifts and strengths. Everyone can do something. All are needed all are gifted and all are valuable.
Christian Health and Care Collaborative is a service of the Australian Faith Community Nurses Association (AFCNA)
