Spirit of Life's Faith Community Nurse Ministry is a natural outgrowth of its heart for the community. As our healthcare system changes often and becomes more and more complicated, a faith community nurse can become a resource. A faith community nurse is a certified RN with a valid license who has also been trained through the Faith Community Nurse program. 

​A Faith Community Nurse can assist in the following ways: 
Teaching health classes and education programs
Helping to coordinate care with other trained volunteers
Serving as a resource person for the healthcare continuum
Making hospital and home visits
Coordinating support groups
Assist the church with various trainings, such as CPR, First Aid

Spirit of Life's Faith Community Nurses also have information about many community assistance programs. These include:
