Michigan Steps Up Promoting Healthy Congregations Assessment
Faith-based organizations want their members to be healthy physically as well as spiritually. People look to their faith communities for support in various aspects of their lives. When faith-based organizations support healthy eating, physical activity and tobacco-free lifestyles, they promote better health among their congregation members.
The purpose of the Promoting Healthy Congregations Assessment is to enable Michigan faith-based organizations to
Assess themselves on how well they are doing at supporting healthier lifestyles among their congregations
Increase their awareness of steps they can take to promote better health among their members
Identify and further define actions they can take that will make a difference
