Our Biblical Roots inform that health is the ultimate design of God for humanity. When God formed us from dust He breathed spirit into us to create life. Jesus was defined by his healing ministry when he said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10

Our Calling- to care about the health and wellbeing of all people.

Our Vision- for a vibrant, healthier lifestyle for all through the linking of mind, body and spirit.
