What Do NCF Groups Do?

There is flexibility in what NCF groups do, but these are some of the core functions that define nurse ministry.

Pray

• for each other
• for patients
• for co-workers and administrators
• for nursing and nursing leaders

Apply God’s Word to Nursing

• Use the Bible as a basis for discussion on nursing issues, spiritual care and ethical concerns.
• Read God’s Word for wisdom, guidance, encouragement and personal growth.
• Discuss Christian books and Journal of Christian Nursing articles. 

Receive and Give Encouragement

• Share experiences, concerns and joys.
• Learn together how to integrate Christian faith into nursing practice.
• Develop leadership qualities and skills to influence nursing positively.

Reach out

• Demonstrate Christ’s compassion, justice and righteousness.
• Share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ so that others will understand Christ’s relevancy to people and issues in nursing.
• Mentor students and nurses.
• Develop leadership qualities and skills in Christian nurses who will communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ in nursing – locally, nationally and internationally.

Note: We believe that NCF groups do not take the place of involvement in a local church where nurses are nurtured in faith among others in the Body of Christ.
