Mission Statement – To promote and educate God’s plan to restore us to whole health.
Overview – It was once said by Benjamin Franklin, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Health-related medical conditions can be easier to prevent, and in some cases, reversed with lifestyle change. Temperance affects all areas of one’s lifestyle – getting the right amount of fresh air, sunshine, rest, exercise, good nutrition, water, and trust in divine power. It is up to us to make healthy choices.
“Every human being, created in the image of God, is endowed with a power akin to that of the Creator—individuality, power to think and to do.”
—Ellen White, Education, page 17
We need to be mindful of the areas in life that affect our well-being. Disease, illness, and hardships can affect our physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, and spiritual well-being. This Ministry will focus on providing information that is Christ centered, and will incorporate the 8 Laws of Health* to help guide individuals and families to whole health. The following are some of the programs this ministry will provide:

* The 8 Laws of Health – “Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power—these are the true remedies” (Ellen G. White, Ministry of Healing, (Nampa: Pacific Press, 1905), page 127)
