“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” — Proverbs 17:22
A GCBC nurse serves a vital role in promoting health and wellness within the congregation. Their responsibilities include providing basic medical assistance during services, such as first aid and addressing minor health concerns. They also offer health education and resources, emphasizing preventive care and wellness practices. A church nurse may coordinate health-related events, facilitate screenings, and offer support to individuals facing health challenges. Beyond physical health, they promote holistic well-being, addressing spiritual and emotional needs. Nurses have a heart to mourn and rejoice with your patients, to love them all unconditionally, to fight for them, to practice humility, and to pray for them.Ultimately, a church nurse fosters a caring and supportive environment, embodying Christ's compassion and concern for the whole person within the faith community.
