Mental Wellness | Ministry
We recognize that mental health challenges can affect each of us at some point in life, including our relationship with God and others. The Mental Wellness Ministry is a church-wide effort to build bridges of understanding, acceptance, and compassion to embrace anyone facing the struggles and storms of life.
We strive to encourage, equip and empower individuals to live a faith filled life through programs that offer awareness and education of the issues, assistance in connecting individuals and families to church and community resources, and support through church-based community groups.
Our ultimate goal is to assist everyone to seek optimal mental wellness, contact Phil Johnson at [email protected] for more information
