Mission & Core Beliefs

"The Heartbeat of HealthQuarters"

Mission: The "heartbeat" of HealthQuarters is to help facilitate health, both physical and spiritual, in the lives of God’s people, enabling them to more effectively serve God in His world.

Strategy: We do this by teaching and promoting stewardship of health through nutrition and natural health care practices, coupled with spiritual health and renewal in Jesus Christ through prayer and the devotional life.

Core Beliefs

1. We are created beings. We believe in the Biblical model of life that our bodies are created by God, and are not simply a product of evolution.
   
2. We are "called" beings. We believe that there is purpose behind all of God’s Creation. Man has a calling, a God-ordained employment to love and obey God, and to serve Him in whatever ways set before him.
   
3. We are responsible beings. We believe that God has entrusted His Creation, including our bodies, into our care as His stewards and servants.
   
4. We are responsible for our own health. We believe that physical health is primarily a reflection of God’s universal law of cause and effect. A man reaps what he sows. How we feed and care for our bodies does impact our health, and the health of our offspring.
   
5. God can, and at times does, directly intervene. We believe that God can, and at times does, directly intervene in order to heal or to afflict, according to His sovereign purposes.
   
6. Satan, our adversary, will do anything to destroy us. We believe in the existence of Satan and his demons, and have no doubt that he’s out to use every means possible, including undermining our health, to disrupt and destroy the lives of those who seek to love and obey God.
   
7. Physical health is an important factor toward effective service. A body in ill repair or diseased has a diminished capacity for effective service.
   
8. Good health is built upon 6 essentials. We believe that in order to maintain good physical health one must get pure air, pure water, health promoting food, adequate exercise and rest, and learn how to effectively handle stress.
   
9. Health promoting foods are primarily from the garden. A healthy diet is one centered on fruits, vegetables, and grains, consumed in forms closest to their original state, and chemical-free.
   
10. Invasive health care measures are sometimes necessary. We believe that at times surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and other invasive medical procedures may be necessary lifesaving measures.
    
11. Invasive measures don’t heal. At the same time, we believe that healing only comes when the body’s own God-given protective mechanisms are restored.
    
12. Spiritual health is of ultimate importance. As important as physical health is, it is only a means to an end, not the end in itself. Man was created to love, obey, and serve God. Of what profit is it if an individual gets well physically, and yet has neither peace with God nor a sense of His purpose for his life. In that light, we at HealthQuarters work to help the individual remove both physical and spiritual roadblocks to greater service in this world for Jesus Christ.
