Does Your Church Have A Fitness Ministry?

[neenzmj]

Hi Ladies,

I need your advice. God has given me a serious passion about health and fitness. I have a strong desire to see women leading healthy, physically fit lives (especially my African American sisters.) I believe God is leading me to approach fitness from the inside (spiritual) out (physical). I'm thinking of starting out with the ladies at my church. I was just wondering if any of you are a part of a church with a fitness ministry and if so, do you find that women are pretty responsive to it? Any others thoughts, suggestions and definitely prayers would be most appreciated.

Yes. My faith believes in a health message based on Biblical health principles, which focuses on diet, exercise etc. My church in particular has two ministries - one is the general Health ministry and the second is called CHIP (Coronary Health Improvement Project).

My church has a health ministry and fitness ministry. People respond well too both. They pray, study, and worship well getting in shape.

We have a health ministry as well. We are currently building a fitness center where there will be classes that mix worship & biblical principles with fitness. From the surveys that have been done, people are very excited about it.
