PARISH NURSING
Parish Nursing is a recognized specialty practice that combines professional nursing with
Faith/health ministry. Parish nursing emphasizes health and healing within the faith community.
Parish nursing is rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition and is consistent with the basic assumption
that we as Christians, care for self and others as an expression of God's love.
Here at First Baptist Church of Junction City (FBCJC), we strive to extend His love by helping
fellow parishioners in learning and putting into every day activities the concepts which affect
us physically, spiritually, etc. By doing these things, we uphold the Biblical truth that our body
is the "temple" of God and it is our responsibility to care for His temple.
The Parish nursing ministry at FBCJC is coordinated by Janet Johnson, RN/BC/PN.
Other Members include:
Merle Montgomery, RN
Marty Montgomery
Vyvyan Wilson
Lynn Holsclaw, RN
There are others who assist as needed to provide support to the committee.
