Mission of NCF Nurse Ministries
To create a place where nurses meet together and invite God into their discussions about nursing to experience Jesus' gift of Christian community.
For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.
Matthew 18:20
Christ's presence provides encouragement for us to grow in love for God, God's Word, God's people of every ethnicity and culture, and God's purposes in the world. Below you can find resources on our NCF groups, and for nurses in specific specialties.
Purpose of NCF Groups
NCF nurse groups have three primary purposes: provide community, reach out to others, and equip nurses to integrate faith and practice from a biblical perspective. These groups are supplementary to local church attendance, and a great way to connect with other Nurses in the Christian Faith.
Community
- Pray for each other, patients, co-workers, nursing leaders, nursing as a profession
- Share personal and professional experiences
- Study God's Word
Outreach
- Explore biblical foundations for nursing and nursing care
- Discuss nursing issues and ethical concerns
- Learn how to give spiritual care
Equip Nurses
- Invite friends to NCF to investigate God
- Share the gospel with people around you
- Mentor the next generation of Christian nurses
