Tending to the Temple
(Health Ministry)
The Tending to the Temple Ministry's mission is to promote health and wellness of the body, mind, and spirit for ourselves, our families, and our communities through education, motivation, dedication, and action.

Who We Serve
Tending to the Temple serves the congregation at large—members, guests, and families in every season of life—by creating spaces where healthier habits and spiritual growth can happen together.
Whether you’re taking your first small step toward better health or you’re passionate about wellness already, this ministry helps you align your physical, emotional, and spiritual life with God’s design.
Our focus
We focus on practical, everyday steps—small changes in movement, nutrition, and mindset—that, over time, lead to stronger bodies, clearer minds, and more freedom to serve God and others.
Health Education & Fitness
- Workshops and sessions on nutrition, preventive care, and stewardship of the body.
- Group movement or fitness opportunities that meet people where they are.
- Resources to help you build sustainable, faith‑centered wellness rhythms at home.
Cooking Classes & Blood Drives
- Cooking classes that make healthy, budget‑friendly meals simple and approachable.
- Blood drives that bless our wider community with life‑saving support.
- Opportunities to serve behind the scenes in planning, hospitality, and follow‑up.
