Parish Wellness

Parish nursing is not a new ministry model, but it is rather new to a vast majority of Nazarene congregations. Parish nursing can be an integral part of congregational care and often reaches out to the local community—an extension ministry of the local church. Also, there is a real need to address clergy health, which would include exercise, diet, emotional health triggers, etc. Parish nurses can serve as support staff to the pastor as well as his/her advocate for personal health.
