Honoring God through healthy living. At Temple of Praise, we believe our bodies are God’s temple, and taking care of them is one way we honor him.
What we do
Our Health Ministry promotes wellness for the whole person: body, mind and spirit. We share health education, biblical principles and healthy lifestyle choices, including vegan and plant-based eating.
Our goal is to inspire healthier choices, help prevent disease, and strengthen our community. We want every person to care for the wonderful body God gave them.
The NEWSTART principles
NEWSTART is an easy way to remember eight habits of healthy living.
- N is for Nutrition. Choose healthy food, with plenty of plants.
- E is for Exercise. Keep your body moving.
- W is for Water. Drink it. Your body needs it.
- S is for Sunlight. Get some fresh sun each day.
- T is for Temperance. Enjoy good things in balance, and skip what harms you.
- A is for Air. Breathe fresh, clean air.
- R is for Rest. Sleep well and take your Sabbath rest.
- T is for Trust in God. Lean on him for peace and strength.
1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
Healthy body. Healthy mind. Healthy spirit. All for the glory of God.
