2026 CNH Church Worker Wellness Initiative

“What if caring for your own well-being could strengthen your ministry, your joy, and your daily walk with God?”

That’s the heart behind our new CNH District wellness initiative, Healthy Living, Healthy Serving. In 2026, we’re inviting every church worker to take simple, meaningful steps toward physical, mental, and spiritual health so that as we serve others, we do so from a place of strength, not exhaustion.

In partnership with Concordia Plans, the CNH District is launching a church worker wellness initiative for 2026 called, "Healthy Living, Healthy Serving" based on Romans 12:1, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."

This year, we want to encourage every church worker in the CNH District to take simple, intentional steps toward a healthier lifestyle—because your well-being matters.

To support you, we’re aiming to increase participation in Vitality® through Concordia Plans, or a similar wellness program offered through your church or school’s health plan. These tools help you track your personal progress and allow us, as a district, to grow healthier together.

If you’re on a different health plan, check with your provider about any wellness resources they offer. We’ve also included a list of wellness programs available in California, Nevada, and Hawaii to help you get started. Here is a list of Health insurance Wellness Programs in California, Nevada, and Hawaii

If you haven’t already, now’s a great time to sign up for Vitality®, or the wellness incentive program offered through your church or school’s health plan.

To help encourage participation, we’re holding a special $500 drawing.

If you’re already enrolled in Vitality®, you’re automatically entered. If you’re using a different wellness program, simply scan the above QR code or complete this QUESTIONNAIRE and you’ll be included in the drawing as well.

Let this be the year you invest in your health—and maybe win a little something along the way!

For information on signing up for Vitality®, go to Getting Started with Vitality. Here also is a quick video if you need additional help. If you have any questions, contact Joel Wahlers at the CNH District Office.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this initiative with all staff—whether they serve in your church, school, or ministry team. Let’s work together to make 2026 a year of renewed health, energy, and joyful service across the entire CNH District!
