SITE OVERVIEW
The website consists of four main sections:
-
The Vision - An overview of the Arkansas Conference of the United Methodist Church, HolyHealthyUMC, and the new 7th Strategic Vision Initiative approved at the 2006 Annual Conference. This section also addresses how we as Christians are "Called to Health".
- Who Are You? - This is considered the General Resource Center of the website. Inside this section you will find information divided into three groups: Congregations, Clergy Families and Staff, and Individual. The user is asked to choose which of these areas he or she wishes to find resources for, depending upon who they are, and in what capacity they are utilizing the resource. For instance, an individual may enter this section, but as the leader of the local church Health and Wellness Committee would click on "Congregations" to find resources on building Health and Wellness ministries. A part-time clergy may enter the Clergy Families and Staff area to find health resources provided to them by the conference.
- Healthy Changes - This is the Individual Resource Area of the website. All of the information contained in this section deals with how the individual can go about affecting positive changes in their "Total Health", which consists of Mental/Emotional, Social, Spiritual and Physical Health. Following vital information on commitment, assessment and goal setting, users can then access an abundance of information and resources pertaining to these four areas of their health.
- Grow Holy Healthy - It is our hope to continue to grow and expand this internet resource over the years, and ask for direction from the users on how that growth should occur. We give you the opportunity to assess the resource and the information contained within it, to submit health resources available in your local area, to share your ideas and success stories with the rest of the conference, and to get involved!
