For the next few years, we are placing mental and behavioral health at the heart of our work—because we believe that nurturing the connection between our actions and the wellbeing of our mind, body, and spirit is sacred and essential to community wholeness.
While our commitment to whole-person health remains, we are intentionally approaching every area of health—nutrition, chronic disease, recovery, and resilience—through the lens of mental and behavioral wellbeing.
In recent years, one theme has risen again and again: our communities are hurting, and mental and emotional wellbeing are central to their healing. In response to these urgent needs—and grounded in our deep belief in the sacred interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit—we’ve made the strategic decision to center this work.
We believe this is not a narrowing of our mission—but a deepening of it. Behavioral health intersects with every other aspect of wellbeing. And faith communities are uniquely equipped to meet this moment: to reduce stigma, increase access, and offer healing and hope.
We remain rooted in the holistic vision of health that has always guided us:
Health is about the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. And God cares deeply about the flourishing of the whole person.
