Is Faith Community Nursing too costly for a smaller church to get involved?
Faith Community Nurses are serving in congregations of all sizes. Some may work as unpaid staff until funding is available. On the average in a smaller congregation the nurses are working 8 to 10 hours per week. They often provide for many of the care ministries of a smaller church. In the church when one becomes ill, they are surrounded by people who knew them when they were healthy. It becomes a natural setting for the nurse to connect those who need help with caring people already in the congregation.
