A: ...by attempting to fulfill Jesus' directive to bind up the wounds of those who are hurting and lost in more ways than just their soul, both within the congregation and outside of it. It will facilitate those in our body who have skills and talents for health and wellness, education, and spiritual healing to begin using them. Q: How will this ministry assist the Pastoral Staff at LCF? A: Just as nurses function as the eyes and ears for physicians, faith community nurses can function as the eyes and ears for the pastoral staff; they may assist families by easing the burden of caring for those with chronic health support needs; they can build a sense of community and lessen the expectation that the Pastors are the only ones who can meet their needs.

As advocates they: - work as map readers for the health care maze, assist with end-of-life issues, help to make sense out of new diagnoses, lab results, and medications.

Faith Community Nursing, as it is referred to, is the practice of nursing which holds the spiritual dimension to be central to the practice. It began in the midwest and in 1997 the American Nurses Assosication designated it as a specialty practice with scope and standards of practice developed nationally. The Faith Community Nurse role balances knowledge & skill, science, theology, humanities, and service and worship with the nursing paradigm. The Faith Community Nurse, in collaboration with the pastoral staff and congregational members, participates in the ongoing transformation of the faith community into a source of health and healing. Through partnership with other community health resources this ministry fosters new and creative responses to health concerns. Our focus is health promotion and illness prevention or "stewardship of the body". We endeavor to reclaim the biblical understanding of the dynamic integration of body, spirit, mind, emotions, and social areas. We desire to walk with people through the transitions of life, to help them grow spiritually, and to find a language of hope in the midst of these transitions.

We believe the Word of God is our final authority and source of life-guidance, calling us to a faith-filled, obedient, godly lifestyle. We are committed to sound doctrine as we adhere to our Tenets of Faith. We are also committed to living by the authority of scripture and anticipating the Word to be made manifest. * Worship - We pursue worship as a priority. We anticipate God's presence in our midst and know that God will be pleased as we are changed. * Wholenss - We embrace an environment filled with the Holy Spirit whereby individuals are made whole by the healing of both the inner and outer man. Wholeness provides hope, healing, and holiness. * Ministry to the Family - Fundamental to the value of family is the sanctity of marriage, biblical sexuality, and human life. We are committed to shepherding, equipping, and developing each member of this fellowship for long-term spiritual growth. The process of development comes by way of ENCOUNTERING GOD, CONNECTING with PEOPLE, and SERVING THE WORLD. * Unity of Christ's body - We value the unity of the church, both locally and globally. * World Missions - We are committed to supporting world missions, beginning with the needs at home, then reaching out to each continent as the Spirit leads by giving ourselves to prayer, financial support, and sending those called to be missionaries. * Prayer - We value steadfast prayer and faithful intercession because they allow us to enter into a partnership with God. Prayer is the foundational means of personal and corporate fruit and fullness in life, service, and ministry. * Vitality of the Spiritual Language - The biblical exercise of Holy Spirit-enabled, supernatural utterance is vital for prayer, praise, intercession, and edification and is a desirable and available resource for every believer. * Committed to Spiritual Warfare & Deliverance - The reality of the invisible realm of spiritual conflict demands biblical confrontation through prayer and ministry with discernment and love. Deliverance is vital for every believer beginning with salvation because believers often face strongholds that prevent liberty which comes as a result of Christ's death. We minister freedom to those who are held captive. * Spirit-filled Witness and Service - With the infilling of the Holy Spirit empowered for service, we encourage each member to discover their gifts and enter into the process of being equipped for fruitful service. * Spirit of Giving and Stewardship - We practice giving through tithes and offerings. We intend to steward that which we have been given of time, talents, gifts, and finances. We believe that the spirit of poverty has no place in God's Kingdom. * Men and Women in Ministry - We value the equality of men and women in all areas of ministry and service. While we embrace this equality, we also respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and challenge each believer to find their calling, their destiny, and then walk in it. * Racial Reconciliation - We embrace all people groups no matter their cultural background. We seek to tear down walls of segregation and commit to valuing every one as someone created in God's image. * Leadership - We are committed to training, equipping, exhorting, encouraging, and empowering leaders with the goal of serving in a Christ-like manner. * Connection - It is our heart that all who come to us will feel welcomed, accepted, and loved. We are purposeful in our relationships. * Spiritual attitude - We are committed to always living in the spirit of the maxim, "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity."

We are a full-gospel family that allows the Person of the Holy Spirit freedom to be alive in all the gifts and active in all biblical expressions. Our aim is to proclaim biblical truth in a fashion relevant to those God entrusts to our care. This fellowship, in one accord, determines to build up, challenge, and cause believers to extend themselves to others, inside and outside the church. We are a body of believers, under the headship of Jesus Christ, working together to provide an atmosphere of people-to-people ministry: people receiving unconditional love, care, encouragement, comfort, ministry, education, discipline, and a determination to be developed into the image of Christ; and people giving talents, gifts, time, money, and themselves to the work of reaching the unchurched, saving the lost, and building the Kingdom of God.
