A body as a resource?

Overlooking Tri Cities at sunrise from the top of Badger Mountain. Beautiful!

Have you ever considered your body as a resource given to you by God? We are created by God and the Holy Spirit resides within us, and like all resources, God calls us to be good stewards of our bodies. At Hillspring, we take our call to live, love and grow into the people God has created us to be seriously. This means we take our health – mental, spiritual, physical and emotional – seriously. When one is off, all are off. Thus, we want to be good stewards and realize our God-given potential. 

Enter our Hillspring Wellness Ministry – Where purpose and perseverance move us toward optimal health as we pursue our God-given potential!
