The principal purpose of this program is to promote awareness, encourage, enable and educate our Conference clergy to assume personal responsibility for their physical, emotional and spiritual health. The reasoning is that healthy pastors tend to propagate healthy churches. We trust that you will give prayerful consideration as to the possibility of your participation.
Your Clergy Care Wellness Program is sponsored by the Board of Ordained Ministry and Board of Pensions. The program will be funded jointly by a grant from Methodist Health Care Ministries and the Board of Pensions. Administration will be conducted by the Clergy Care Team intergrating the health care resources of your current health benefit plan, Fiserv Health Care Management, Interface EAP and LabOne.
