AFCNA provides excellent faith-based education, information and resources:
- to equip and support Faith Community Nurses and

The aim is to support your work and ministry as you seek to release ‘abundant life’ in every person, and to assist you to understand, set up and support either or both Faith Community Care in your local church (adding health to pastoral care ministry) and the role of a Faith Community Nurse.
We offer:
- face to face workshops and courses (returning in 2024)
- online education hub
- interactive web workshops held via Zoom
- Foundations of Faith Community Nursing course – currently online
- regular online Community of Practice events with discussion topics
