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.

March 2020 - Coronavirus Precautions: Do Your Part To Stop the Spread

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is currently closely monitoring an outbreak of a respiratory disease called COVID-19 (known commonly as coronavirus) which was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China late last year.

According to the CDC, the immediate risk of coronavirus to the American public is currently considered low, but everyone can do their part to help stop the spread of this emerging public health threat.

We know that Allen Temple is a community hub and we see hundreds of people walking through our doors each week. We understand that because churches are social organizations, it’s important for each of us to do our part to stop the spread of viruses and to protect our families, friends, fellowship, and community. When one person catches a virus it will affect many others unless we are wise about how we handle it.

Here are some important recommendations from the CDC to help stop the spread of COVID-19. For those who are returning from international travel, please follow these guidelines for returning safely to the fellowship.
