FAQ
What is IHMC?
The Interdenominational Health Ministry Coalition (IHMC) is a faith-based organization that believes Health is a Spiritual Matter and that embedding that philosophy in the faith community will help close the gap in health disparities. We use a holistic approach to educate, equip, support, and empower health ministers within churches and faith communities to offer faith-based health promotion that results in better health outcomes for all. IHMC serves as a catalyst for building healthy communities living in wholeness of mind, body, and spirit; by equipping health ministers to serve in their respective churches within the community. IHMC is a model for faith-based collaboration both locally and globally.
