Health & Wellness Ministry

The Health and Wellness Ministry of Assumption Greek Orthodox Church seeks to integrate our Orthodox faith with the pursuit of holistic well-being. We recognize that true health encompasses the body, mind, soul, and relationships, and therefore we are committed to promoting physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness among our parish family and the greater community.

Through education, fellowship, pastoral care, and practical support, we strive to provide resources and opportunities that encourage healthy living, compassionate service, and Christ-centered balance in daily life. Our ministry emphasizes preventative health, faithful stewardship of the body, and nurturing resilience in times of illness or hardship.

Grounded in the biblical teaching that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), we aim to glorify God by honoring and caring for His gift of life. We believe that when the faithful thrive in body and spirit, they are better able to serve God, their families, and their neighbors.

Ultimately, our mission is to cultivate a community of care where health and wellness are pursued not as ends in themselves, but as a means to deepen our love for Christ, strengthen our unity as His body, and radiate His healing presence in the world.
