Description
Join us on May 18th for our Faith and Healthcare Conference. This conference is for anyone who works in healthcare or is interested in the interaction between healthcare and Christian faith. We’ll be looking at healthcare and wellbeing in its broadest sense including allied healthcare, counselling, and medicine for all ages and stages across a variety of settings.
We’re excited to gather as Christians who are passionate about seeing God’s kingdom come in our homes, communities and workplaces. As individuals working within, or interested in healthcare we want to provide an opportunity to worship, connect and grow together.
The day will involve opportunities for worship, prayer, networking, and hearing from individuals working or volunteering in healthcare settings.
