Are you a Nurse who is part of a Nazarene church? Have you thought about starting a faith community nursing ministry? We would love to help you. We would also love to have you as part of our board to help us help others. We are looking for people who are interested in continuing education credits for nurses. We are looking for people who are interested in helping us to build this ministry in the Church of the Nazarene. If that is you, please go to the membership page and send us your information. May the Lord bless you in your ministry. 

How did Parish Nursing originate?
Parish Nursing was begun in 1984 by Dr. Granger Westberg. Westberg observed that by overlooking the relationship between spiritual well-being and physical health, patients were deprived of full-patient care. Westberg invited nurses to serve as a bridge between the faith community and the medical community. The parish nurse might best be described as a community-based nurse whose population is the local congregation.

Olivet Nazarene University is now offering the Basic Preparation Course for Faith Community Nursing
