Ephesus Health Ministries 

Ephesus Health Ministries, under the dedicated leadership of Sister Karen Phipps, is a beacon of holistic health and well-being, deeply rooted in the biblical and Seventh Day Adventist health message. Our ministry is built on the foundation of Scripture, particularly the belief that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), entrusted to us by God to care for through healthful living. This guiding principle aligns with the Seventh Day Adventist commitment to a wholistic approach to health, which encompasses the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of life.

At Ephesus Health Ministries, we are passionate about empowering our community with the knowledge and resources to live life as God intended. Our annual health fair is a highlight of our calendar, offering free health screenings, professional consultations, and practical advice to promote healthy living. Recognizing the importance of physical activity, our cycling class provides a fun and engaging way to improve cardiovascular health, while our vegan cooking classes demystify healthy eating, demonstrating how delicious and fulfilling a plant-based diet can be.

Furthermore, we are committed to educating our community through various mediums, including videos that offer tips on staying healthy. These resources are designed to be accessible and informative, reflecting our belief in the importance of making informed choices about our health.

Our ministry's impact extends beyond individual well-being; it is a vital part of the Harlem community's social fabric. By promoting healthful living principles and practices, Ephesus Health Ministries contributes to the overall health and resilience of our community. We believe that by fostering a healthier environment, we are not only adhering to God's plan but also enhancing the quality of life for everyone in Harlem.

Ephesus Health Ministries is more than just a health initiative; it is a spiritual calling. In aligning our lifestyles with God's design, we honor Him and witness to the transformative power of His love. We invite you to join us in this journey towards healthful living, as we strive to fulfill our mission of living the life God intended for us all.
