About Laurelwood Health Ministries
Our Mission
The mission of the Health Ministries department is to share hope and wholeness through the healing power of Christ.
One of the reasons Seventh-day Adventists live longer than the general population is their lifestyle. The Health Ministries Department provides cutting-edge information and training on how to optimize your health and be all that God has designed you to be. Its resources help you discover what the Bible has to say about health and its importance for a rich life. Need to quit smoking or drinking? Health Ministries can help you drop bad habits and develop good ones. Don’t settle for less!
By promoting whole-person health principles we demonstrate the love of God, Who’s desire is “that all is well with you and that you enjoy good health in the same way that you prosper spiritually” (3 John 2, CEB). By linking biblical spirituality with practical health principles, we help each other find healing for our afflictions and hope for our future.
Health Ministry is the gospel of Christ illustrated; the message of God practiced. Without it, the gospel witness is muted; it is merely a theory, an idea.
By connecting together, we can be more effective in promoting the health, healing, and wholeness of the community. We can bring healing to individuals in our own churches, our schools, and our homes. Together, we can fulfill God’s plan to restore hope in Christ to a world that is hurting in body, mind, and soul.
How We Serve
- Promote a healthful lifestyle among church members through literature, programs, and Sabbath services
- Provide, through publications, services, and programs, an ongoing witness to the world concerning the physical, mental, and soul-destroying effects of tobacco, alcohol, and other harmful substances
- Encourage involvement in the evangelistic thrust of the church by developing resources that support renewal of mission
- Promote and/or sponsors health seminars and workshops aimed at equipping health ministry leaders for service
