Over 20 faith community nurses and health ministers gathered on Zoom on November 24, 2025 for a lively session of problem-solving and sharing!

Using the evidence-based 2024 Westberg Institute Foundations of Faith Community Nursing curriculum, this facilitated forum engaged attendees in discussion to amplify practical actions necessary to develop a sustainable faith community nursing practice. Attendees discussed the nuts and bolts of launching a faith community practice and grappled with challenges, discussing solutions and innovative ideas for various settings. The importance and benefits of measuring outcomes and professional involvement at the local, state, and national level was discussed.

This forum was a fun and valuable networking experience for faith community nurses looking to reenergize their practice as well as those starting out. This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by Oregon Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation and attendees earned 2.5 contact hours.
