LUTHERAN FAITH COMMUNITY NURSE ASSOCIATION(LFCNA)
Parish/Faith Community Nurse Preparation Course sponsored by Concordia University/Wisconsin
Starting July 15, 2024
Course Overview
Since 1989, Concordia has offered educational programs in parish nursing and congregational health ministries. Our Parish/Faith Community Nursing course is offered completely online for a flexible way to learn about congregational health ministries. The course consists of eight one-week units that approach nursing in the faith community from all angles. You will study Jesus’ example of caregiving and service to others, learn how to use healthcare as a ministry of the Gospel, and how to start and run a health ministry in your own church. This program integrates a Christian caregiving framework to developing a holistic congregational health and parish nurse ministry in serving your congregation in mind, body and spirit. We offer two sections yearly: one starts January 1, and second section starts July 15.
