LFCNA Program library toolkit

 An Ad Hoc Committee of LFCNA has developed a 5-piece toolkit for use in assessing health education needs, priorities and sharing of program ideas to respond to the needs. The toolkit includes:

  • an assessment tool that can be used with individuals, small groups or the entire congregation; 
  • the health and wholeness model seen above; 
  • suggestions for using the toolkit (not to replace your own creative ideas);
  •  Color and black and white brochures that can be used on your education kiosk or for distribution to individuals, groups, or at events, and
  • a significant number of online program submissions shared by colleagues across the organization and the country. 
Click on the Program Library Toolkit link on the Member's Only page to find more information. We continue to seek program submissions in all health focus areas. Please consider submitting programs that you offer in your ministry. A form to submit your program offerings is found on the Toolkit page.
