Creating Healthy Congregations

Together We Can Change the World!

Our Churches are taking over the responsibilities of empowering their congregations with the Spiritual & Physical tools and support they need to live Healthier Lifestyles. Our healthcare systems are overwhelmed just providing medications. Also, most providers are not trained in Healthy Lifestyle Medicine.

Nations Nordic Walking Ministries is the simplest and most effective health and wellness program for churches. No matter how large or small your congregation, you can provide your members with the #1 Nordic Medical Pole Walking Exercise Program in the USA today!

Churches more than ever are forming support groups for members suffering from the effects of aging, since 15,000 people a day (age 62 and 67 combined) are old enough to go onto social security, which will continue until 2030. Eighty percent of these support groups are trying to help people with medical conditions. Our program is able to address these many ailments, creating Hope and Purpose again in their lives!

According to the National Geographic, if you would like to be healthier and live longer, the number one principle for a healthy lifestyle is natural motion. God has given all of us an amazing body to live in, but many of us are suffering the shortcoming of living in this body, due to injuries, aging or not so healthy lifestyle. It would be great if we could just sit around and recover from our ailments, but that is not how it works. We must get up and start Walking God’s Path to Wellness and Recovery.

Nations Nordic Walking Program will not only improve the health and wellness of the members of your church, but is a great tool for community outreach to also impact the lifestyles of your local community. Your church could sponsor Nordic Walking events as fundraisers for worthy causes or help start Nordic Walking groups. Your church will then have a healthy influence on your local community in both physical and spiritual manner.

Nordic pole walking is a fun and social activity that is proven to improve stress management, mood, increase energy, general strength, flexibility, health and also highly effective for weight loss that contributes to better management and prevention of most chronic health conditions. It is a “Full Body Aerobic Resistance Exercise” creating cross motor function, which helps develop new neural pathways for better brain function.

Nordic Pole Walking provides twice the Health Benefits of regular walking in half the time. It can be done outdoors or in, on any surface and at any fitness level, even those in walkers or wheelchairs can benefit.

Churches have realized that if they want a healthy and happier congregation, then they need to invest in the health and wellness of their members. Doctors, who use our program has stated Nordic Pole Walking has been the missing link to Lifestyle Medicine which also includes plant based diets and proper nutrition.
