Because we care about the holistic well-being of all people, mental, physical, and spiritual health is a major focus of the work of The United Methodist Church. The Health & Welfare Committee of St. Matthews UMC seeks to facilitate this work in our local community through prayer, engagement, and advocacy efforts that enhance the overall wellness of our members and the community at large. 

We provide health education and health advocacy through prayer, reflection, and community involvement. Activities include but are not limited to:

• Blood Pressure Checks
• Collaboration with Cone Health Mobile Clinic for screenings
• Authorship of health-related articles for the monthly church newsletter
• Collaboration with other church ministries to sponsor and promote wellness activities
• Dissemination of health literature through bulletin boards, hand-outs, and consultation (as appropriate)
