What is Faith Community Nursing? 

Faith Community Nursing is a recognized specialty practice for registered nurses combining professional nursing and health ministry. Faith Community Nurses are often called parish nurses, congregational health nurses, or church nurses, and emphasize health and healing within a faith community. This is an independent practice in which the nurse performs roles of educator, referral agent, advocate, personal health counselor, developer of support groups, volunteer coordinator, and integrator of faith and health. The spiritual aspect is key to faith community nursing by actively promoting wellness, wholeness, and preventive health.
