CONGREGATIONAL NURSE PROJECT

MISSION STATEMENT

The Vision of Congregational Nursing for Northwest Ohio is faith communities of
many denominations sponsoring health ministries, each one unique and
indigenous to the congregation and the surrounding community it serves. Each
ministry attends to integrated health and pastoral care needs. Congregational
health ministries supplement and complement but do not substitute for care
providers or traditional pastoral care providers. Congregational health ministries
look to the Congregational Nurse Project for support, guidance, education and
standard setting and assurance provided through the collective expertise and
resources of the individual ministries and their regional offices. The
Congregational Nurse Project also coordinates regional programs and activities
designed to foster and support individual congregational health ministries.
