Health Ministry

The Health Ministry, chaired by Dr. Reginald Cole, focuses on health education and wellness, emphasizing the connection between a healthy body, mind, and spirit. Caring for each other is at the heart of our church, and the Health Ministry supports that mission by creating a space where the benefits and strategies for healthy living are available.

Nineteenth Street's Health Ministry was established by Dr. Mamie C. Montague in the 1970s and has a storied history and a rich legacy. Recent programs and partnerships have included diagnostic screenings, vaccinations, a speaker series, walking groups, exercise classes, and the distribution of health information. 

All medical professionals and people interested in wellness are invited to participate in this work. For more information, contact the church office at 202-829-2773 or office@19thstreetbc.org, with Health Ministry in the subject line.
