At Encounter Ministries, we are committed to empowering adults in our community with the knowledge and tools to live healthier, more vibrant lives. Through our Health & Wellness Program, we aim to educate and inspire individuals to embrace healthy eating, fitness, and lifestyle habits that honor the bodies God has entrusted to us.
Our Purpose
The purpose of this program is to educate adults in our community on the importance of:
- Healthy Eating: Understanding the benefits of natural, whole foods and how they fuel our bodies for daily life.
- Fitness: Promoting active lifestyles through simple, sustainable exercise habits that enhance both physical and mental well-being.

- Understanding Labels: Know what to look for when shopping and how to avoid processed, unhealthy options.
Lifestyle Habits for Long-Term Wellness
True health is about more than just eating and exercise—it’s about a sustainable, balanced lifestyle.
- Workshops and Resources: Attend classes on stress management, sleep hygiene, and creating healthy routines.
- Accountability Groups: Connect with others on the same journey for encouragement and support.
- Mindset Shifts: Embrace small, consistent changes that lead to long-term success.
Why It Matters
In Massachusetts, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is a significant concern:
- 66% of adults are classified as overweight or obese.
- These statistics highlight the urgent need for education and action to reduce these rates and improve overall health.
By prioritizing health, we position ourselves to better serve God, our families, and our community. A healthier body allows for a sharper mind and a stronger spirit—essential for living out our purpose in His Kingdom.
