The goal of the Health Education Ministry Committee is to increase the health, mental and spiritual well-being of the Allen Temple Church Family and East Oakland Community. This will be accomplished by emphasizing positive attitudes towards health, increasing knowledge of preventive health practices and providing biblically based tools that will assist in comprehensive self-care.

The Health Education Ministry accomplishes its mission by providing programs in collaboration with community-based organizations, health care and social services agencies throughout the Bay Area.

The objective of our Ministry is to educate and empower the community with positive health maintenance attitudes.

Liberate Meditation is a subscription-based meditation app that includes practices and talks designed for the Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) community. The app is designed to support BIPOC on their path to healing by naming and offering resources for common cultural experiences, like internalized racism and microaggressions.

The Safe Place is a mental health app that teaches the Black community more about mental health from a minority standpoint. The app can also be used as a tool by mental health professionals of all colors to understand their Black patients better. You can read One Mind PsyberGuide’s review here.
