The Healthy Congregations Recognition program, in existence for 13 years running, recognizes what Kansas United Methodist congregations are doing to nurture, reach out and educate through ministries of health, healing and wholeness. In addition to recognition, Healthy Congregations seeks to share examples of creative and unique health ministries to help inspire and encourage health activities throughout Kansas United Methodist Churches. We hope your church will participate. Full details and report forms for the recognition program are available here.
