The Allegheny East Conference HEALTH MINISTRIES DEPARTMENT exists to cooperate in the ministry of making mankind whole in his physical, mental, spiritual, and social dimensions.
About the Ministry
DELIVERANCE
Intentional Health & Wholeness
Our health focus centers on DELIVERANCE, a call to move beyond survival and into intentional, sustainable wholeness. Deliverance is not limited to freedom from illness or harmful habits; it is the daily practice of aligning our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health with God’s design for abundant living.
DELIVERANCE represents a wholistic framework for health, one that empowers individuals to take practical, faith-rooted steps toward restoration. Each letter highlights a core health principle that strengthens the journey toward wholeness:
Adventist Recovery Ministries
Recovery is a journey, and no one should walk it alone. Adventist Recovery Ministries provides guidance, support, and hope for those seeking freedom from addictions, destructive habits, or life’s painful patterns. Here, you’ll find resources, programs, and a compassionate community rooted in faith to help you take meaningful steps toward lasting healing and wholeness.

Adventist Recovery Ministries (ARMin) is a Christ‑centered support and healing ministry dedicated to helping individuals and communities find freedom from addiction, trauma, grief, and patterns of hurtful behavior. Through compassionate support, training, and community resources, ARMin creates safe spaces where people can work through life’s hurts, share strength and hope, and grow toward lasting wholeness in Christ.
The ministry equips churches and individuals to facilitate recovery groups, fosters ongoing education and support, and offers retreats and programs grounded in biblical principles and trust in Jesus as the source of healing.

30-Day Whole Life Challenge
Small Steps. Lifelong Change.
The 30-Day Whole Life Challenge is designed to kickstart a journey toward lasting health and wholeness. While the challenge itself takes just 30 days to complete, its true purpose is to set you up for a lifetime of healthier habits, balanced living, and intentional wellness.
Each day focuses on a practical step whether it’s nourishing your body, moving with purpose, resting intentionally, or caring for your mind and spirit. By the end of the 30 days, you’ll have built momentum, gained tools, and developed routines that make lifelong wellness achievable.
Think of it as a launchpad: 30 days to practice, learn, and growand a lifetime to thrive.
Real Talk. Real Health. Real Life.
