Parish Nursing

This program is designed for those in the health ministries to deepen their theological integration of faith and health. This program is for licensed, registered nurses who have completed the Parish Nurse Preparation course, lay health ministers and pastoral caregivers in medical systems.

The Parish Nursing program:

  • Provides a foundation of pastoral care theory and practice to complement the education and experience nurses have in medical and nursing care.

  • Fosters growth in leadership skills within the faith and health ministries.

  • Enhances and deepens theological integration of faith and health for parish nurses and pastoral ministers.

 

"Parish nursing has grown as a nursing practice over the past 25 years. Luther Seminary acknowledges the critical ministry of parish nurses and health ministers. The certificate program gives students a deeper theological understanding of God's presence in health and healing, and grows leaders to better serve in a broken and life-giving world."

-Karen Treat, parish nurse, Luther Seminary
