INTERFAITH PARTNERSHIP OF METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS

CURRENT HEALTH & WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED TO
ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN CONGREGATIONS

Thank you so much for committing to health and wellness! Abraham’s Children is the congregational health advocates program of the Interfaith Partnership/Faith Beyond Walls founded on the scriptural promise made to all the seeds of Abraham that “in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:1-3).

The vision of Abraham's Children is to build and maintain the bridge of peace and unity between congregations and communities as they work together:

to promote health awareness;

to reduce health disparities; and

to improve access to health care for all people.

Abraham’s Children is a holistic health and wellness program. We define health broadly to include the physical, psychological, social, environmental and spiritual; all of which have an influence on the quality of life for an individual. Your involvement is key to the success and growth of the health & wellness ministry of your congregation. We offer a variety of programs that you can get involved in.
